Tyre slime!

<< < (3/3)

clbarclay:
I used some left over tyre slim from doing tractor tyres in a set of BFG muds, the slime sorted out a very slow puncture in one of them (suspect rim seal) and I reseated another to stop a quicker slow puncture. After a while though this set of tyres caused noticeable vibrations while driving, which I suspect is the slim settling at the bottom (the tyres wern't in regulare use). The tyres are still drivable with, but they amplified any problems like swivel pins with insifficent preload.

Since then I've only had one other set of tubless tyres on my 'off roader' and haven't bothered to slime them, they don't require any more imblancing.

I have to say this im my oponion DONT USE IT it can cost you more than a repared puncture if you catch my drift

Jonny Boaterboy:
It seems like the overall consensus is negative, and after thinking about it I'm not convinced that you can balance a tyre with a gel/liquid in it. I think I will try and find a good tyre fitter and get it sorted that way...... now where do you find one of those!

Thanks all
