RimGuard Lifespan

Thankfully, I have not had any flats so no opportunity to look inside the tires. I have no concerns myself about the life of rimguard. If it has inherent problems I will cross that bridge when I come to it. However, your concern is legitimate. You have a right to your own peace of mind. If you want to know how it performs long term then I suggest you ask that question at a tire shop that sells and repairs ag tires. The guys that fix them will know what it looks like inside the tire. It has to have been around for more than 10 years and there will be an answer to your question. Just have to find the right people. Good luck and let us know if you find anything negative about the product. I would be interested in hearing about it if there is.

Just to put things into perspective. If Rimguard is basically suga,r or at least close it, should have a very long shelf life. I'm sure you guys know that honey doesn't go bad, same principles should apply. Just my $0.02

The Rimguard folks won't tell us what is in it, but they do say that it is the byproducts of beet sugar production, which means it's whatever soluble stuff is left after the sugar is extracted.

Rimguard "shelf life".

I'd like to point out that shelf life of a product is based and tested on the idea of that product being on the shelf.

A product installed in tractor tires is constantly mixed and re-mixed which keeps its components in suspension.

I have tongues in mine for over 8 years and counting. The tires are so small on the bx,I don't check the pressure any more. If the Turf tires looks flat on hard surface then I call it good. I'd there is a hump in middle then it had to much pressure as it did at one time.
