This is how I fix a tire experiencing a slow air leak . The liquid stuff is not my first choice and wont be after experiencing poor results. You may have great success with the goop but for me it's not an option I will try again. Cheers Check link below

Nice job Steve you are the master my grandpa used to fix his tractor tires and his semi truck tires kind of like that. I don't use tire Slime or anything like that in my tires tire shops around here generally don't like to mess with tires that have that stuff in there because they have to clean the rim
The slime works but its not a product I reach for with a rim leak. Ya its messy.
Ask your wife how long you've had the can of tire sealer. you just said "long time". LOL
😂😂😂
I have the same sealer can and it always works for me a special on my old truck rims....they oxidize between the tire and the rim....I clean them up and then that rubber stuff and were off to the races....I use the slime stuff for the mule tires at the camp....them back tires are as old as the mule and cracked or checked and the rubber stuff don`t work on that so, therefore, the green slime....there all good but in there different aplication....no slim for highway use....repair the tire leak....good one....CHEERS ..........ah ya....like the car jack mod
Gator I seen atv with slime in the tires and slime all over the inside fenders too when your driving at 50 MPH LOL Yes a lot of them leak stoppers do work in the right application . I was surprised to see how expensive atv tires are but your arms don't reach your wallet so easily . LOL.
Thanks. I very much suspect this will be the exact problem I have. It all makes sense. Now I can pull that wheel off and check it out.
Glad to have been helpful 👍
I've sealed tons of beads with green slim and or bead sealer. You're right Bead sealer is better by far. Green slime does work but you need a ton of it or I will dilute it with windshield washer fluid to make it flow better. However, I did a video about a year ago on Tire-Ject and that is by far the best "put into the tire" tire leak and bead sealer I've ever used.
Yes I remember but we can't get that product up here. Cheers bud.
Good tip Steve. A note about the slime and fix a flat. On tires with a tire pressure sensor, it will mess the sensor up and they are not cheap to replace.
Yes that's could get real expensive :) Cheers
Good tip on fixing a rim leak! I know they can be hassle to stop the leak sometimes. I will remember this, Thanks Steve!
Yes it's not always a jug of green crap all the time eh HAHA
Man Steve I wish you lived next door to my brother in NB he is constantly working on his snow blower and calling Tom hehe..your things will last you a lifetime cause you take care of them well
Toms not just a taste tester he's a handy dandy fixit man too. I'm looking forward to seeing Toms youtube channel vids real soon :)
Nice job on the tire leak!! The green slime is a good stop gap. But if you add it to your off road tires and expect it to be a 'final' solution, you'll be disappointed. Nice mod to the jack and valve stem remover. Using those jacks with a ratchet or drill motor is way better than than those 'wands' that's for sure!!! Have a great week Steve!!!
Yes I have taken apart enough slimed tires to not want to see anymore LOL Yes the jack comes in handy for so many uses and keeps the brain exercised too :)
Tried Green slime on my wheelbarrow and hand cart. No luck at all. Went to Harbor Freight and bought replacement tires on the rim for not much more than what that green crap cost. Wasn't aware of tire bead sealer. Will give that a go next time. Thanks for the tip.
Hi Wyatt the bead sealer for rim leaks is a good repair plus I have marked the tire to rim and on snowblower tires and if the air pressure goes down they spin on the rim but not with the bead sealer. Cheers
Nice fix Steve. I've never used Slime and I don't like Fix-a-flat. It makes a mess inside the tire.
Jay it seems a lot like to use it but when I have to put a plug in one its a mess. If the tire needs a plug that slime does not work , small cracks ok but this is a lot more work doing this way but works every time.
I never saw tire bead broken without any tools with such ease.
From one professional to another... fill it with water & let freeze.
Yes and I'm thinking it's a great idea for coolant leaks on autos too 😂😂
@@SteveRobReviews Just bead it, bead it, bead it, bead it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin' how funky and strong is your fight
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right
Just bead it, bead it
Just bead it, bead it
Just bead it, bead it
Just bead it, bead it
They're out to get you, better leave while you can
Don't want to be a boy, you want to be a man
You want to stay alive, better do what you can
So bead it, just bead it
Yes steve the slime works for me, had a tractor leaking on my John Deere tractor and for my snowblower, it also works what I did I rotate tires once I put in the green slime and I experiment with tire for snowblower tire that shows cracking by spraying the whole tire with erasol glue and it has been holding for me anyways. But there is always one way to skin a cat, from the Jamaican 🇯🇲Canadian🇨🇦, I also live in the Greely Ontario(Ottawa suburb)👏🏾👍🏾👌🏾💪🏾🙏🏿🍺🍺🥃🍻
not a bodge in sight, good work buddy. Can't say I've ever tried the green snot
Im still trying to perfect the ultimate bodge 😅😅 Thanks bud.
@@SteveRobReviews Ain't that the name of the guy across the pond?
bodged it and legged it?
MostlymoparIH your thinking of Leon from Ireland , he's a professional Mic. bodge maker :)
She will never forget any thing you do. Was the cracking noise the tire or Steve? Tire slime is not a good thing except offroad. When I was working on bikes I welded two scissor jacks together with some angle iron across the top. It works really well for stuff with a wide frame. Thank you for the tip, Steve
Haha you know you women . Thanks bud
I love the right way of fixing it thanks for showing how to do right
Thanks Danny I do my best but sometimes it does go sideways on me :)
Nothing says fun like green slime! 😜 Thanks Buddy!
Yes and it's so much fun working on slime filled tires too. HAHA
Wow so that's how it's done. Hopefully I won't ever need to do none of dat stuff. I'll stay away from the green...stuff. Thanks Steve 👍👋😀
Yes going green is not always a good choice 😅😅
@@SteveRobReviews 😂😂That's right Buddy 👍
Yup that’s the way I do it. Good job buddy!
Hi Gary yes its my favorite way so far.
Ive never seen a wheel come off that easy
Some can get real rusty and tough to get off .
All four of my rider were leaking. Slime fixed them and are still up 3 yrs. later. Absolutely don't put it in car tires unless you enjoy being turned down at tire shops.
Good advice Thomas 👍
Holy shit! I'm first!
Your wife sounds a lot like my wife, way smarter than me.
Were only smarter when their not around then :)
Tire bead sealer. Thanks. Mine keeps going flat and it's new! Thank you.
Thanks to. China quality
The bead sealant is the best method and looks like you want have an issue anymore. 😀👍
Terry it seems most go for the green goop but a rim leak is not the best choice. Fixing it right takes more work but it works right. HAHA
I missed last video I will catch up soon. I believe your right. Fix it right and listen to the wife! Lol I’ll listen to 40 years experience! Lol
HAHA Calvin just start off from new and pay no need for any vid you missed. Oh ya listen to your wife :) Cheers
Yes! I heard the cracking!
LOL
shes a leaker moma!! steve the best leak finder I found is soapy water dish soap or tire soap
Yes I agree for the money it does good . Cheers
Im an automotive tech with tons of tire experience ( small shop, small town.. licensed guys do tires lol) if i see fix a flat or slime in a tire i charge extra to clean it up after im done swearin an ragin lol.. i use a stainless wire wheel and good lube. I dont like bead sealer but it does have a place . Use it on anything seasonal or pitted too bad to clean up.. should also mention the fix a flat ruins TPMS
Aaron Im from Canada and I have one speed and that's gererdone eh :) If you want to know all about Canada I did a serous docudrama on what it's like living in Canada . th-cam.com/video/0sQHSeaTX5E/w-d-xo.html
@@SteveRobReviews i live in New Brunswick
Well your going to learn a lot then :)
Ever try putting motor oil in the tire? I did that once and it worked. It was leaking due to dry rot.
I like these great ideas and I will try it on a tire i have. Great idea as the oil does do strange things to rubber and swells up many times too. Thanks for the idea.
Nice fix ! I'm glad that I don't need. a snow blower 😋
Ah I bet you would love to blow show all winter and freeze your yahoo off. HAHA
@@SteveRobReviews I lived in Michigan until I was 18 and made a lot of money shoveling snow . With a snow shovel no blower 😑
N Smith Norm that's back in the days when people did whats needed to get it done if you ever wanted to amount to a hill of beans. LOL The old man always told me it's all about a hill of beans apparently . 😜
great great viv. thank you.
Thanks 👍
I like tire bead sealer . But for dry rotted garden tractor tires , Well i have a bunch of them full of green stuff , and been that way for years. , But yea not so good on bead leaks.
I agree and it seems all the newer small wingwang tires all crack and split a lot faster than i remember years back . I'm thinking they own the green stuff company LOL
Green slime works on dry rot. Works best if you take tire off and roll slime around by hand, If it is cold warm the slime so it flows better. Have a happy day.
Interesting ideas thanks !!!
when you said shes an oldie,i thought you meant your wife at first.... LOL rubber cement works too if one doesnt have the bead sealer
Roger you should do a vid on it - yes I have used it too for a old tire and rusty rim that was going to the bin if it didn't work but it works great too .
guess what i need to do the same thing soon lol great job steve thumbs up and shared
It seems them blower tires come from the factory with rim leaks , man I have done so many over the years and yes on new machines the first day the owner finally gets to try it out . HAHA
@@SteveRobReviews yikes. I didn't know that!
Nice Job!
Thanks for a great video
What the heck is that valve thingy that looks to be on the carburetor?
Thanks - valve thing hum not sure I have a million things in the shop LOL
@@SteveRobReviews I had to take a look and it's the valve thingy about 5 inches above the tire you just took off.
Ok I took a look and that's a homemade fuel shutoff valve that was on for water on a humidifier, been working g for 15 years like that.🤣 Cheers
i only but air in my tire lol great video steve
Thanks bud , whatever works 👍
@@SteveRobReviews i didn't even know about that rim stuff tell your video i just keep paying the tire guy to fix them on my bobcat tell they put tubes in stupid me
HAHA one $15 can will do 100 rims
Looks like the right way to me Steve
Well I could expect that from one sharp guy that knows his stuff too :) 👍
@@SteveRobReviews Where? Where?
How did that stuff work on your wipers and are you gonna try it on tires?
What was it called 333 or 331?
MostlymoparIH None of them numbers I'm thinking 007 :)
@@SteveRobReviews Shaken not stirred.
I’m so glad I’ll never need a snow blower
HAHA you would be a great snowblower operator bud , all you need is an Uncle Buck hat and some ice cold Beer. 🍺🍺
I have used the green stuff but never for a bead leak. Id bet you could apply the green stuff exactly the same as you did here and it would have sealed. now how do i test my theory?
I'm thinking your theory is just a theory till you test it out yourself and use it in - 30 temps. LOL
Steve that slime is not for rim leaks that is only made for small punctures in the tire in the tread area you need bead sealer for leaks in the around the bead and rims if the rim is warped it may nit work and you will have to replace the rim itself that is my experience
I agree but it seems I have tore down so many tires with it in there and the owners insist it's for every leak known to man. LOL
those owners need to read the bottle of slime lol
Hows she going A! Worked at a Goodyear for awhile, don't put any of that sealer in your road vehicles...
👍
I tried the green slim in a tractor tire, it held for about 3 days then flat again. Then what a mess it was to fix after the slim stuff.
Been there and its no fun dealing with all that slime 😅😅
Love your video.Thank you.Going to like you.
Thanks Kelly much appreciated.
The only time I’ve used a green slime stuff was on my motorcycle. It is supposed to stop blowouts on your motorcycle tire as you ride it will just have a slow leak And save your life.
I have not had much success with slime at all as once you have to break down a slimed tire it's real nasty 😅😅
I might have to buy some of that stuff just in case
Aubrey its about $12 at parts source or napa.
If you use green tire slime or whatever to fix a flat on a vehicle you will ruin and void the warranty for the low pressure monitor in the tire that sends a signal to the light in your dash to warn you of a tire losing air. It gums/slimes up the sensor.
Tnx bto problem solved
👍
Awesome! Subscribed! Just started my trapping channel stop in
Thanks I will . Just started - have fun as its a hobby for me for the last three years. Cheers
That sealer is the only way to go Steve for a leaky bead.
I have only used this but i have seen tires full of the green stuff that did nothing . LOL
Wives are always right!
Yes and when their wrong we say their right- right :)
❤
I decided i should put some air in my Snow Blower ties this year since there was only 5 or 6 lbs in them. It was only 5 years ago i filled them. {:>)
HAHAHA love it Bill 😂😂😂
I would just put a tube in those low pressure tires
Good idea 👍 th-cam.com/video/IfUKeATqhZw/w-d-xo.html
Now that looks like 1944 or 1999 ta me. So where did 6 years go?
Is it Miller time in the garden state 😂😂🍺🍺
@@SteveRobReviews We are past Miller thyme. We broke out the blackberry. Good four4 what ails ya.
Green Stuff!
Not John Deere green more like snotty green and slimy too :)
Maybe they can hire you as the actor to sell it. Lol
I used the green stuff in two tires. The one was the back tire on a riding lawn mower. The tread was cracking on the tire. It sealed the tire. The other tire was a small trailer tire that i use with the garden tractor. It was leaking air at the rim. I took the tire off and laid it down while putting the stuff in. After the stuff is in the tire fill it with air and tip and turn it so it runs up where the bead is. Then turn the tire over and tip it back and forth so it gets on the bead on the other side. I wouldn't use it on car tires. Garages that change or repair tires don't like the mess. I am guessing that using the stuff you use would have worked as well or better but would make it necessary to break the bead and in the case where it was leaking in the tread it would be necessary to remove the tire.
Gordon if you has good success with your tire repairs keep on doing what your doing as one persons repair may be different than yours. Cheers
Gorden that is what I did on snow blower tire, no wife, set the tire in the living room and keep tipping it so it would get to the bead. My tire is kind or dry rotted to with the cracks too. Was going to put a tube in it but decided to try the slime instead of having a wrestling match like I did with the zero turn tire I put a tube in... I just had to watch tv, and flip the tire. I like his fix better, but our fix worked lol...
Green stuff is just a band aide.
For some it works but for me I like this way plus it works every time too :)
