Just curious if anybody has tried putting some sort of tire sealant in thier tubes (9.00/16s)??? I've used it in Bicycle and ATV tires with pretty good results. I don't really mind breaking down and fixing tires, but I noticed that just about every flat has been due to a pin, or smaller size hole that seems like it could have been taken care of with Slime. I was also curious which kind to use as they make some for tubes (which seemed to be more for slower app's 40MPH and down) and some for tubeless tires (faster app's 40-60MPH)??? From the website it sounded like the biggest difference was that the "tubeless" kind was a little thicker and less likely to "pool" in the bottom of the tires, causing balance problems. But I don't think that my tires have half the wieghts that they started out with any way, and I still can't tell the difference. Also I would think that since I'm running a bias tire anyway (Power Kings) the flat spotting in the morning is probably way worse than any wobbling caused from the imbalance of the Slime before it redistributes its'self. Also curious if when airing down for traction while wheelin' if the Slime would come out the stem?? It doesn't on my bicycle tire (I was curious so I tested it today) I used the calculation on the Slime webpage, and it said pretty close to 20oz needed to be added to each tire, does this sound about right??????
