6X4 GATOR QUESTION

   / 6X4 GATOR QUESTION #11  
PapaG,

Sounds like Slime may be the way to go for awhile. Spend a little time getting rid of "stuff" and let the existing tires with slime take the abuse. A little later, get some good all-terrain tires.

Does the slime corrode the wheels at all?

Not that I've ever heard. I've had in my quads for years with absolutely no issues
 
   / 6X4 GATOR QUESTION #14  
Since I have a tire changer in my barn, I have changed some tires that had Slime in them. It does make an awful mess, and every steel rim that I've changed that had Slime in did have a bit of corrosion present inside the wheel. Other than being an awful mess to change, the corrsion was not nearly as bad as some rims that had gotten water in them. Maybe 10 to 15 years down the road there may be an issue, but it would take a while. If you take a tire with Slime in it to a tire shop, they likely will charge you more for a tire change because of the mess it makes though. Like most things, it's a trade off.

I just bought a 6x4 trail gator new with the upgraded heavy duty tires. If you plan on keeping the gator for some time then spend the money on the upgraded tires with slime this should put an end to your problems once and for all. I have yet to slime my tires but no holes or leaks yet. I have really rough terrain and these tires are very foregiving when they are abused in the roughest conditions.
