Does that slime stuff really work when u get a flat tire? Is there any advantage to doing that instead of just putting the spare on/donut? What i dont get is does it really fill up the tire from being totally flat and also fills the whole making it totally ridable and if so is it ridable forever or does it have to be replaced 60 miles down the road? thanks for all the help in advance

I heard slime eats away at aluminum wheels and also it coats the hole so that tire shops cant/won't patch the hole. Also makes the tire unbalanced. probably good for a last ditch, stuck in the boonies fix but other than that I rather just get a spare.

i used tire slime in all my tires (the green stuff) just as a preventative measure since my spare is a pain to get to. i had a slow leak in one and it fixed it immediately. i think it works awesome. make sure you get the right stuff though. it sounds like ur talking about the fix-a-flat stuff stuff that's used after you get a flat. i'm talking about the stuff that you put in if you ahve a slow leak or just want to use it just incase.

all of those tires products are not great.. they may work somewhat but why not take it to a tire shop for proper repair..

A spare can be put on quick as long as you no what ur doing,..

at the local shop i work at we either decline fixing or have to sit and wash tires out to make sure there not dead form that crap what it does it eat away at the rubber to soften it up and goop over the possiable hole or rupture or anything. best bet is deff use doughnut tire and get the tire fixed without putting in any of that nasty crap!! it causes nothing but problems and somtimes cakes itself on to aluminun rims. i just had a car come in the other day did the slime to front two tires and it took me about 30 min each tire to clean up the rims bead because it ate the s*it out of it...bad news the new tires leaked becasue the bead was all uneven from the flat fixewr crap he put in

Trrrrrrrrust me that slime does not work. I worked in an automotive center for 5 years and so many people try that crap and it next to never works. I think I might have seen it work once where the hole was so tiny you could have driven on the hole for a week before it lost any amount of air. All that crap does is make everything very dirty and in some cases makes it not fixable. There were quite a few times were we told people it wasnt fixable cuz we used a patch plug from the inside. Best bet is just use the spare tire its the best bet.

Just buy some run flats and eliminate all your worries.
