- In this video we explain how to repair a small air leak on your tire (e.g. car or motorcycle).
We are using a liquid called Slime in order to fix those small leaks. In this example, the rim is bent, not allowing to seal the tire completely.
First step is to make sure that the valve is located on the upper portion of the wheel. Then release all the air from the tire, by removing the valve core.
The Slime bottle comes with the valve core removal tool. It is in the inside of the bottle cap. Make sure not to lose the valve core.
Now prepare the bottle and attach it to the valve. Fill the tire with the correct amount of liquid, mentioned on the side of the bottle.
Then we remove the bottle again, reinstall the valve core and fill the tire with air to the correct pressure.
The last step is to drive the vehicle for a mile or two, ensuring that the liquid can spread all. around the inside of the tire, closing. up all possible leaks. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต

It works, but the tire shops will hate you when it comes time to change those tires again.
Can I ask why shops will hate it? Is it because they want you to buy more tires or does it making something difficult to do?
@@Kiostu I assume it has gooped up all the inside of the tire and rim.

@@Kiostu I used to work at Dealership; as soon as I saw this in the tire, we stopped servicing the car. We only get paid 15 min for the tire but have to spend 2 hr to get it off, and it will leak everywhere to the equipment or our clothes. No, I'm not doing it.
yes great invention, but awfull work cleaning
I used this on a tire that had a small leak on the edge of the tread. It slowed it down and when I replace the tires about 6 mos later we looked inside the tire. The inside surface of the tire was shiny and wet, and the liquid was lying in a free flowing wet puddle in the bottom of the tire just like it was in the bottle. It did not dry or anything. There were some small fibers from the liquid in the hole on the inside plugging it. Clearly, the liquid puddle needs to be at the leak so I'm not sure how it would ever get to the tire bead unless you took the tire off and rocked it around or something. It worked ok for my use, but still leaked very slowly. I drove it on the highway and didn't notice any balance problems with about 6 oz in the tire. Their on-line calculator wanted me to put in twice that, but I was worried about the balance. After looking in the tire later, I can't see that more would have made any difference.
great fix!
Thank you
Does it affect the tire sensors ?
