Slime SDS-500/06-IN Tyre Sealant 473ml

Permanent fix for a slow puncture

Purchased this as I had 2 slow punctures due to small holes in parts of my tyres that were 'not repairable' due to being on the edge of the tyre tread. Poured half a bottle of Slime into each tyre, rotated the wheel by hand slowly to ensure a decent coverage and went for a drive. Not lost a single PSI since! No balancing issues as any speed and have done 100's of miles without issue. Even in the product instructions it suggests that it's a temporary fix, but hoping that it will outlast the tyres (both of which still have 7mm of tread). A £10 purchase seems to have saved me £250 on new tyres so I am chuffed. Just ordered a second bottle to see what it can do for a couple more slow leaks on my trailer tyres which are old a go down over the period of time. Not really expecting this to work, but at £10 it's worth another shot.Read full review

Didn't fix my van slow puncture/leak.

I'm guessing that the reason this didn't work is I must have a leaking rim or valve on my 16" van tyre, and not an actual puncture, however I have no reason to think this wouldn't be fantastic on on actual puncture. I have used slime products on my push bikes in the past and never had an issue.
Had no issues with this affecting wheel balance once the stuff had settled properly in the tyre, it may pool at one side of the tire if stood, but this would soon even out once driven and warmed up again.
My advice would be to make sure you have an actual puncture and not just a leak first.
I was too impatient to take the tyre to a garage to have it checked properly and thought this would be a more convenient fix. I suspect this is only effective on the outer tread section of the tyre, not sidewalls, valves or beads.

Amazing stuff!

This stuff is amazing! It does what label promise. I was a little skeptical about it, because it sounded unreal. But after some research I realised that this product is unique with it’s patented formula, the only one in the world. I have painted aluminum wheels which are a little corroded. When I changed tires last time, tire changing centre didn’t clean my wheels inside enough, so air was escaping really slow. After couple of weeks I had to inflate tires again and again and again. Slime product works like a charm. I don’t need to inflate my tires anymore. They’re keeping pressure perfectly. I didn’t even used whole bottle per wheel. I just wanted to try it on and eventually add more, but it worked with just quarter of a bottle. It really works and I can honestly recommend it.Read full review

Instant puncture repair.

Used this product on a ride on lawnmower rear tyre puncture, followed the simple instructions and was up and running in 5 minutes. The tyre has held its pressure since, brilliant.

Slime works!

For those very slow tyre leaks I have found this product very good. No experience on more serious leaks. Stuart

Tyre Sealant

Excellent product for preventing rapid tyre deflation if you are unfortunate enough to pick up a nail or similar as I did
It does leak past the object before the seal is complete and sprays up under the mudguard or runs into the ground if parked and as it is florescent green is easily visible so it's best to get a permanent repair asap
Check your tyres regularly for objects that could have punctured your tyre
Easy to install and used on a 3000 mile tour of Europe without problemRead full review

Not instant

I had a leak on the tire bead that would loose about 3 psi a day. I followed the bottle instructions which meant one bottle per tire (which would make this expensive if to be use as a preventive measure in all tires) drove the car immediately covering well over the suggested miles. the next day the tire had lost air & finally stopped loosing air after about three days of normal driving & now seems ok.
I don't think the tire fitter will be happy with all that green slime floating in the tire when i come to get it replacedRead full review

Straight forward and easy to install

Exceptionally easy to install. Suggest that the instructions should include a recommendation/warning that you don't use too much in one go as it caused a wheel imbalance when car driven over 60m.p.h.
