Green Slime in slicks???
 

Has anyone used green Slime in slicks? I have one thats leaking from a few spots.

I've used it in a pinch. When you put it in you have to drive the car around to spread it out otherwise it just becomes a lump in the bottom. OBTW, it's flammable and it expands with heat. Watch your tire pressures.

Use dish washing soap. With tire off the rim smear the side walls up good, mount them up wash them off with water then let them sit in the sun for a while, done it for years Tom

How about a tube.

x 2 on the dish soap !!

I works good, the best method is before mounting the tire wipe it down inside like you would with soap. Let it sit a few mins and continue working the excess around the tire. Finally wipe out any excess that continues to puddle up. Now mount and seat and air as usual

It will 99% cure leaking through the sidewalls.

dawn dishwashing liquid inner tube is tooooooo heavy

Works perfect. I took a shop towel and a bottle of dawn to Goodyear on the first day of a race when I bought new tires. Just squirt it in the tire and smear it around before they mount them. I had a lot of people ask me what I was doing. Never had a tire leak down.

I put another set of tires on my car in Houston. One has a bad leak that I can;t get to stop. It's right where the tire meets the rim on the sidewall. The goodyear guy went out of his way to mount and remount the tire 4 times. Still has a leak. He said the tire was good and my rim has no problems. I didn't put any soap on it!! LOL If I get it dismounted again do you think that might help my problem. I have time my engine is a short block. Thanks.

X-3 on the dish soap. Ed are you going to make it to San Antonio.

I use dawn on my slicks. But with these POS 8 inch wide, 20 inch tall tires They always leak.
But the leak I had was pretty bad. I put the green slime in, then ran the car on the jackstands for about 5 minutes. Then I took a spray bottle and sprayed where i thought they were leaking (the side walls) well no leaks on the sides, but some of the soapy water got on the slick surface and it was blowing bubbles. I then looked closely at the slicks to find the cords were showing. Ending my race weekend.

Next question is does anyone have any 8 x 20 x 14 inch M/T slicks?

Re: Green Slime in slicks???
 

When was the last time you bought tires???

Re: Green Slime in slicks???
 

I bought the last 2 that were available about 3 years ago. There might have been one more I think Mike Beard was able to buy one tire.
