Brakes Wheels 2nd Gen Tires Most liked posts in thread: Best Tire Sealant?

I have used many brands and they all worked. Main concern was the tube used to fill the tire, as some work and others did not. Slime seems to be the in name. I bought a compressor from Auto Zone (a Slime, by the way) for $20.00. Small, plugs in the lighter socket and works very well. Says it takes 8 minutes to fill a regular tire, but the faster ones were large.

Jim.....
I've always wondered if that Slime stuff would cause problems with the TPM sensors?

 

According to the makers of Slime it will not adversely effect TPMS sensors. They sell a smart spare which is a compressor & slime in a combo pack.

 

Just bought the green slim and compressor kit at Wally-World (Walls-Marked) for 19.95 plus tax (sales tax not carpet tacks since I know that will be the next post ).

 

I bought the version for implement tires. Did you buy the no sidewall version?

 

Chuck, I only bought the Slime compressor. I have no idea how the other stuff works, I just see it talked about a lot . I have a spare (so to speak) and don't need it.

Chuck, yea for my summer tires...the winter tires have just a little more sidewall :ihih: now, your implement tires, that's a whole different story but you'll be passing me on I-270 with 10 inches of snow on the road

 

If having a spare, a compressor & slime keep the flats away it's money well spent.

 

Here's a local thread from a very small MINI board that Beken, CAL, and I are on. Don't worry we won't be taking overy. I think we have about a 10 members. On the other hand, just one extra member will mean a 10% increase and who knows where that will lead.

Anyways there's some noteworth comment about Slime and also a nice compact Airman compressor that Beken carries.

I roll around with two cans of TPMS safe Fix-a-Flat I actually bought at my local Mini Dealer. Haven't had to use them nor do I want to...
