I have the normal BX slow leaking one front tire. Been just filling it with a portable air tank. See all the advocates for Slime and saw TSC has 2 16oz bottles for $10 this week. Amazon is $6.50 for one 16 oz bottle and I have free shipping from them. Reviews on Amazon indicate bottle recommends 8 oz per car tire. Those/you successful BX front tire slime users: How much did you put in your tire? Does the valve stem remover come with the Slime? If not, what laying around the house tool did you use to remove the valve stem?

The bottle of Slime that I bought had a valve stem removal tool made in the cap. There is a formula on the bottle for the tire size on how much to use. I think I doubled the amount on all four of my tires never had a leak.

I used the one that said for Lawn garden tractors and ATV's (only for the fronts rears were filled with water and antifreeze). Hasn't leaked since last year after I put it in.

I just put in one 16oz. bottle on each front tire of my BX 24 and It was not enough. They did not even hold for 24 hours I am either getting tubes installed or getting a gallon of slime ( about $25 at TSC)and putting half in each. I am so sick of putting in air every time I use my tractor.

Have you checked to see if it's actually the valve stem? There's been a lot of discussion on that being a problem also.
