I've heard those stories. My kit has a plug kit, 12 v pump and as a last resort the bottle of slime. I haven't needed to use the slime yet, just the plugs. I added a robust set of needle nose pliers (to pull out the nail, screw or similar shrapnel from the tire) and a 1/4" drill bit to prep the site and make it easier to get the auger in and out prior to plugging it.
This is the one I have: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Slime-Fla...RZedlkyvJfVp9E

I've never used Slime. I imagine that if you used it once, your tire is pretty much trashed because of the difficulty it is to remove the goo inside the tire......but what do I know ??

I'd use the goo on a stranding - haven't yet. Would suck to be the tech cleaning off the wheel, but if the stranding is bad, that's comparable.
I've never pierced and plugged myself. Have the package. Have seen it done, it's a bit harder than the package directions indicate, not sure if I'd trust myself with zero practice. |
