Using Slime

[jfh28]

We're probably pretty close to getting the same type of weather and I just went thru the winter with my tires slimed without any problems. I do keep my machine in a garage that has a little heat so it's stored temp is probably about 40F when 0F outside.

I used the bulletproof grade from Gemplers. It has saved me at least 2 tires already. One with a nasty slice about 3 inches long clear thru the bar tread.

I slimed the tires on my PT-422 about four years ago and I have had no problems, no flats , no air leaks. It doesn't get much colder than Northeastern South Dakota in the winter. Probably say the same about our summers.

I tubed mine. I can't recall what I did to the inside valve stem. I'll have to look and get back to you.

That's a bummer. If you were going the tube route (THIS) may be something you could look into. Would not do much for sidewalls, but might be some extra insurance. /forums/images/graemlins/ooo.gif

I spent lots of money on slime and several other brands to no avail. Most of my leaks were in the sidewalls from running over rocks, stumps, and trees. I had to air up the tires everytime I used the tractor. So I took Rick Taylors advice and went with all new 6 ply tires from Carlisle Tire. Best thing I ever did. I haven't had a flat or leak due to punctures since and I have run over some pretty tough stuff.
