Pulled the front wheels off my trusty MF50 diesel over the weekend. We have lots of thorns - tubes over the years have been a pain in the buttox. I have successfully used Slime in the past - problem is, over time, thorns sticking through the tire make the hole in the tube larger and larger and at some point, the slime won't hold. Slime also has a shelf life too - as I'm to understand.
Now before anyone slams me on using slime - it works for me, just not as long as I'd like - especially in a tube application.
What I'd like to do is put on tubless wheels and rims and fill with slime. This would eliminate the tube and I think the slime would be more effective.
Don't think the old rims on my MF50 are tubless type - so I would need to find some.
6.00 - 16 wheels/tires is the size, 6 lug.
Anyone know of a source wheels/tubless tires of this size - not having much luck.
The alternative (which I'm reluctant to do) is foam fill the tires.
Thanks,
Bill
