I have had marginal luck with Slime, had a lot better luck with Amerseal. The only thing with Amerseal, when you put it in you must run the tire for at leat 5 minutes, it has rubber particles in the white carrier and when you have a hole, the carrier goes to the hole, the rubber will hang up in the hole, and as you drive it, with the flex of the tire it will fill the hole with rubber particles, and makes a permanant repair. A lot of the others works on what I call the bubble gun principle, they plug up the hole for a while, but will not be a permanant repair and eventually quit working.

Never used the green slime, but Berrymans R seal is real stuff. My BIL ran over a board which had a 20 penny nail sticking straight up and it had the board nailed to the front tire. He backed up and pulled up a couple times and never leaked again. For wagons and seasonal use, where tires are not rolled over any they may leak off, but as soon as you start using them again they usually seal back up. It is available at TSC and GY tire stores. Maybe even walmart. I get in one gallon jugs, comes with pump. Around 20 bucks a gallon.

I really dought it would work if you have fluid in the tire. Without fluid... what the others have said!

I called the green slime company about fluid in the tires. They said it will not work. Naturally its impossible to get all the fluid out of a tube without replaing the tube. I"m not sure about the other brand that was mentioned here for fluid tires.

I bought a bottle of the green slime for tubes only and have not used it as yet. I used one bottle of the green slime for tubeless tires and it helped for a short time. It was on an aluminum rim.

I use it all the time in slow moving tires. Mixed success in car and truck tires. If I am going to tube a tire that has it in it I just wash it down with water and scoop it out. I have used it in everything from bicycle to tractor rears. As long as the leak is in the tread area it works.

I used it in a couple of tractor fronts and it helped. Eventually I decided to have tubes put in them and the tire guy was not excited about having to deal with the slime. He said it will cause problems if you tube them and leave the slime in there between the tire and tube.

I used it on an riding mower tire several years ago. When the tire finally split from old age I put a new one on the rim. All I had to do was rinse the slime off with water. It cleaned up really easy and I saw no evidence of corrosion on the rim.

That stuff works great in small tires like on lawn mowers. I would guess it should be fine on bigger ones but you may need alot of it. Try some then try somemore if it still leaks.

Sure it's not the valve stem?
