Slime 10012 Large Tire Sealant for Trucks and SUV - 20 oz.

  • Repairs punctures up to 1/4 inch using Fibro-Seal technology
  • Remains liquid inside the tire, coating the tread area as the tire rotates
  • Non-toxic, non-hazardous, non-flammable, non-aerosol and water soluble
  • Contains rust and corrosion inhibitors to maintain the integrity of the rim
  • Slime tire sealant for tubeless tires can also be installed into tubeless bike tires and it installs between the rim and the tire bead

I purchased slime with the intention of correcting a very slow leak in my left front tire. I have a '92 4WD Toyota pickup with 32" X 10.5" BF Goodrich Mud Terrain T/A tires. I used the recommended 20 oz amount. The front end was aligned on 4/28/10 and operation was smooth until the first application of slime in the slow leak tire. It causes the steering wheel to shudder rapidly, spanning an inch and half clockwise/counter-clockwise. I can feel this being transmitted from the imbalance created in the tire.

Yes, I did drive the truck immediately after installing the slime. In fact, I had read about it extensively on the net before purchasing the product and bought two bottles because someone, amidst a plurality of satisfactory reviews, had noted a similar imbalance by using the product; my intention being to fill the other front tire to balance the front end, should that reviewer prove to be right. This made the shudder in the steering wheel perceptibly worse. I have contacted the company for a refund and hopefully pay to get the slime out of my tires and the wheels rebalanced.

It is really bad.

I finally tested this on a ~.25" mesquite hole. Used the whole bottle and it worked. I had to jack the tire off the ground to rotate it and to give the near useless mini compressor a chance to fill the tire without having bead sealing problems. Rear tire, no vibration problems. I still replaced the tire after getting back to civilization cause the hole was a little onto the sidewall. The tire shop guys were warned and they didn't complain about the slime in the tire.
