Front tire sealant

[ArlyA]

When I had tires foam filled there were 3 choices for density..

Point is, I'd use a tire sealant long before going to a foam filled. Once you've done foam, its really hard to change out and you lost any adjustment.

take it off and patch it OR put a tube in it!!!! simple and problem solved!!

This is the only right answer. Take it off and put vulcanizing patch on. Anything else and you be will doing something again with tire until it's fixed right.

But some folks work in cactus or other thorns and flats are not avoidable. When I lived out west folks there doped there tires with sealant. That was what you had to do there.

Unless you use a good sealant, or good tire plugs.

Tireject. Out in the desert of AZ thorns from cactus and mesquite are just something that are there. Patching and plugging only stops the leak for a short time until the next thorn. Before tireject I spent more time repairing tires than I did running them on equipment. Tireject has changed that. My 2 cents

If there are no briars, thorns, nails etc. in the tire, an old-fashioned inner tube is hard to beat.

Yes it is really easy to beat, inner-tubes are now running over $40USD. A bottle of FlatOut is only $16 and can do 4-tires !

Tire Ject it IS absolutely the best, it works the best and it won't rot your rims like slime.

He is right. Been using tireject for years and is great. Had trailer tires that leaked down every week or so put tireject in them and they are still standing and holding steady. Cheaper than paying $20 dollars to the tire place to fix a flat. Use it on lawnmowers, wheelbarrows hand trucks and anything that will hold air. Including basketballs.

I can not imagine that Kevlar fibers are any better than others as a coagulant.

No sense falling for hype!

For my two cent's worth (which may be overpriced): I haven't had need for a sealant on my tractor tires, but I used it on some auto/truck tires, and it's one of the only times anybody remembers hearing experienced, easygoing tow man and mechanic Ed lose his cool and swear like a sailor possessed when he was removing and then mounting a new tire on rim for me. Guys still kid him about it. Another time, I had a local place put a new tire on rim of a small mower tractor, and when they found sealant in the tire, they charged me extra. ~Lefty

Keep in mind that using sealant in tires on regular road going vehicles affects the balance.
