Fixes flats and old tires like a charm
Style: 1 gal
This stuff is awesome. If you have tractor tires, ATV tires, bike, tires, hell, any tires that hold air. This stuff is awesome. Awesome. Awesome. It does not work for highway vehicles, i.e. Cars and truck trucks. But anything else it’s great. Dollies, air compressors, wheelbarrows, the stuff is awesome dude.

slime is and has always been amazing for bike tires and other small pneumatic tires
Style: 1 gal
this is a great value, I have been using slime in my tubes of my bikes and a small inflatable pneumatic tires for probably 30 years, and I can say slime has only improved, and it works fantastic, this is a very good way to save money, and it works great on goat heads and several other ways your tires can get punctured, I still always recommend carrying a small air compressor or pump, but for the price point you just cannot beat slime, every bike shop should always carry this.

What was left in the bottle worked great. However, the cap was off of the jug when I opened the package. Ididn't have enough for the other tires.

This stuff just works! Very impressed. If you have a slow leak, get this!
Size: 20oz
This is the second time I've bought this product. I bought one initially to test it out and I was very impressed! I had put some used tires on some used rims for my side by side and I had a couple of them leaking slowly from the side of the rim. I put this stuff in, following the directions and have no more leaks! It's been about a week with the first one, and zero loss in air pressure. I took my side by side out on the trails and thrashed around a bit, still no leaks! This stuff is legit! It comes with a valve removal tool and red valve stem covers to show you which tires you've added this too. Very easy to use, no issues whatsoever. Saves you money having to take your tires somewhere to have them look at them.
