Can i buy rim guard

   / Can i buy rim guard #11  
The main reason I went with Rim Guard was the safety from poisoning pets or wildlife. A tire company came out and installed mine. The technician had not used it and read the hazardous materials data. He said it has a zero hazard rating. He spilled some on the garage pad. I easily cleaned it up with plain water.

When I bought the Kioti, I insisted on R-G. The dealer said he would need to put tubes in the tires. My response was, 'so'?
If you want to sell me a new anything, put the accessories on it that I want. My new 1998 Neon Sport wasn't going to come with a 5 spd AND cruise control, the dealer was whining that cruise was an expensive option with a standard. My response was if you want to sell me that car, you WILL accessorize it the way I want.

My Rim Guard was installed without tubes in April 2011 and there has not been a problem. However, I learned shortly later that a common problem with Rim Guard was that after a year or two it could rot out the valve stem core. I spoke to the tire shop and he assured me that they had changed the valve stem cores. He said they always did that when adding Rim Guard. I am fortunate the tire dealer knew about it.

Yep, Rim Guard says to replace rubber valve stems with brass valve stems. They say the rubber stems can leak around the rim hole because the RG causes the stem to become slippery and doesn't seal on the rim real well. The main reason to use brass instead of rubber is due to RG dissolving the rubber cement used in rubber valve stems.

Talk about web site retardation.

Autozone
JD
Kubota
O'Reilly's
McDonalds (yuk)
CVS
Rite Aid

I could go on, but you (hopefully) get the point: What do they all have in common?

When I looked at RG 4-5 years, they didn't even have that; I had to call them. Do they want to sell their stuff or not?

Rimguard had a website in 2009 when I found a dealer to put it in my tires

Another source is Bio Ballast from Envirotech Services:

West Region - EnviroTech Services

I contacted them when looking for Rim Guard and they were prepared to ship some to me from the US. Then I found Rim Guard available through the Fountain Tire in Salmon Arm.

It might be an idea to contact some AG dealers and tire shops to see if they sell it.

Is there something missing in the OP?

Rim Guard is a fairly unique product. It requires special equipment to install it. Therefore they sell it only to people willing to buy it in bulk, which saves everyone (manufacturer, distributor, end-user) money.

Unless you are in a position to buy drums/totes, there is no reasonable expectation of buying the "stuff". OK, you may find a dealer wiling to pour out a few five gallon buckets, but my guess is that it won't be any cheaper than having them just put it in for you. And then you need to figure out how you're going to get syrup into your tires.

As I said before, Pete's Tire Barn will come to your site and fill your tires for no extra charge. If they don't serve your area, there may well be a similar service available.

Why are you trying to do it yourself?
