Now that i have another project...my luv offroad has moved outside. My tires have been looseing air by the hour. I fill them every day with air. My question is....Has anyone tried that green crap in a bottle...and is it any good..? It's a real pain to fill the tires with air every day. I have three that leak ...and one that dos'ent . Thanks for any help in advance

Hey man,


I tryed it once in our old farm truck. I put it in the one back tire that always leaked and it has held ever since. It was a slow leak though (in 5 days it would be flat) We use this truck to carry a 2000lb. round bale to the cattle in the winter everyday, and with all that weight on the back tires its still holding air!

Thanks , for the replys , guys ! I got some , and it is working so far!

i used to work a tire store and people brought in their flats and i would be whistling taking the tire off and splat green ooze all over me i dislike that stuff could be that you have rust around the bead of tire or bad valve stem rubber one or metal with a bad grommet or weather checked tires lettin air seap out i have seen lots of crazy flats before broken cds in them

if you guys need any help on tire stuff i will be glad to help you as much as possible

oh yeah the green stuff works pretty well once in a while someone would come in with it flat still its only meant for small leaks though

Yeah I used to work in a Firestone, and I have to agree with JK The green stuff really pisses you off when you go to pop the bead on the tire and there is just a slight bit of that crap in there thats still wet !! Well anyway I was gonna say the same thing as him sometimes it's just easier to take it to your local tire store or garage have them check the stems and bead by dunking it that will usually tell ya where you got your leak.......... or you can do it the shade tree mechanic way I used to tell this to my friends when they had slow leakers.
Get you a spray bottle with about 3/4 full of water and then put you a couple of squirts of dishwashing soap in it, then mix it take it to your tires and you should find the leak pretty quick.... when you see your bubble show !!!
Well just my two pennies.
