I am using it. I cant really give much of a review on it as I have not had any punctures or cuts. The bit that I spilled when putting it in the tires was easy enough to clean up. At least it gives me some peace of mind.

I keep my tires at 40psi front and rear, and they really dont look like they have 4200 miles on them. I think maybe it helps them run cooler and combined with keeping the pressure at 40, it might help lengthen the life of the rubber.

Been using it for years. Ever since I saw my buddies rear tire with 3 screws in it and no air loss. Service manager brought the tire out to show us the screws when he went in for a tire change.

Default The biggest difference between Slime and Ride On is

Slime will cause wheel imbalance and Ride On won't. They both work on filling small holes but for different applications. Slime is for ATV's, ride on mowers and small utility trailers. Ride On works best in car, truck and motorcycle applications.

Worth it for the balancing alone. I put it in both tires on my EGC after about 2k miles and it was freaky how it smoothed out at higher speeds.

Default Only problem is

That u could have a small hole in your tire and not even know it. It pays to really inspect the tire regularly

Does it work well when used in combination with dyna beads? Is there a web site for this product?
