Flat tires are not picky. They occur on every lawn mower, trailer, automobile, bicycle and piece of equipment with wheels. Thankfully, tire sealant is an easy and inexpensive solution to your flat tire problem. But when should you use tire sealant and what tires should you use it in? And what are some examples of when you shouldn’t use tire sealant?
What is tire sealant?
Tire sealant is a fibrous liquid that coats the inside of your tire (or tube). When the tire is punctured, the escaping air carries the sealant to the puncture. The liquid portion of the sealant escapes and the fibers build-up and intertwine to form a flexible plug. Slime offers tire sealant in three formulas:
• Emergency tire sealant for highway vehicles (yellow label bottle)
• Prevent and repair tire sealant for non-highway tubeless tires (blue label bottle)
• Prevent and repair tire sealant for tires with tubes (red label bottle)
Now let’s take a look at the types of tires that would benefit from tire sealant:
• Highway Vehicles: Slime is the go-to brand for emergency flat tire repair in your cars, trucks, SUVs, RVs and all other highway vehicles. Reach for the yellow label Emergency Flat Tire Repair sealant when your car has a flat.
• Lawn and Garden Tires: The blue label prevent and repair tyre sealant bottle is a favorite for all your garden, lawn and farm flat tire needs. Slime plugs punctures and stops slow leaks for two years in your wheelbarrows, tractors, trailers, lawn mowers and much more.
