| I tried searching the sites but couldn't find anything. The question:
has anyone had any positive experiences with Slime or a similar puncture sealing material in your tires??
Thanks. |

I have not seen these warnings on other tire sealers ... from http://www.slime.com/faq.html#answer_121
I've heard that SLiME will ruin my rims?
Our SLiME Sealant for tubeless tires is formulated with rust and corrosion inhibitors as well as a pH buffer making the product more alkaline. All of these ingredients work to protect the integrity of your rim. It is important to note there are factors which can allow damage to occur in spite of this. If you want to err on the side of caution, you can use SLiME as a roadside repair. All you need is SLiME and an air compressor! SLiME can have an adverse affect on certain types of aluminum rims. Because alloys differ, it is difficult to predict how SLiME will react with your rims specifically. Over the years, though, we have found that older rims are more susceptible to damage from SLiME. Make sure that, if you have tubeless tires, you are using our tubeless formula. Our inner tube formula does not contain rust and corrosion inhibitors. Do not leave SLiME inside your tires for more than 2 years. After that time, we cannot guarantee the integrity of your rims. If pre-existing damage is present, we do not recommend using SLiME._________________ Bill - Georgetown TX 07 Silver Wing ABS Clearview w/vent, Givi E96/TB19/E52 with Admore Lighting, Alaskan Leather, Wrist Rests, 3M Solas tape, K&N air, Hyperpro spring, Grip Puppies, Airhawk, Utopia backrest, Stebel, Apexcone HIDs, StingerZ LEDs (w/Backoff WigWag), Knight Rider Sequential LED, NGK Iridium, Power Commander III, Manic Salamander, Saeng mirrors, Garmin Zumo 660, Dark-Side Sumitomo Tire  |

| My comment regards 'all the same' was meant regards the puncture prevention not it's chemical constitution, so appologies if I was confusing.
I don't personally use Slime, PunctureSafe as it is now called is more readily available in the UK.
With a car and four tyres you are more stable in the event of a rapid tyre deflation. On two wheels a traumatic tyre deflation can be fatal.
I started using a tyre sealant after reading it was a pre requisite for the BTC, (British Touring Car racing,) I figured if it was good enough for racing it would suit my purpose.
I would most definitely recommend any puncture preventative in your tyres from day one. |
