Slime Tire Sealant

[Mina Rofael]

I have multiple questions regarding “Slime Tire Sealant” product. The advertisement looks amazing, but I need to hear from you.
1. Did anybody tried slime tire sealant?
2.Does it really work with big nail holes? or only small holes?
3.Do I have to have a leak to use it? Or can I use as future protection.
4, How recommended do you think?

Thanks

I use it in bike tires, where it works great – however, that’s inside a tube. I imagine it would make a mess inside a car tire – if you got a nail in it, it would almost certainly plug the leak, but when you removed it to patch the tire, the tire place is going to have to clean all that stuff up. (similarly, when you replace the tires, it’s going to be a mess – probably way worse than if you just used a can of fix-a-flat when you got something in your tire…)

I would worry about it clogging the schraeder valve and making a mess there with time, too.
