What about "Fix a Flat" for a very slow leak?

[rScotty]

I've had a slow leak on the M59 since forever. One of the rear 17.5x24 Titan industrials needs airing up every two months.
The tire shop where everyone gets tractor and heavy equipment tires recommended
"the original Fix a Flat" for truck/SUV. It's a 24 fluid Oz pressurized can with a hose and what looks like a regular tire tube connector on the top.
I've never used this or anything like it. How well does it work? Any hints?
Should I let all the air out of the tire before doing this?
Do I use the whole 24 oz, or is this enough for two tires?

Thanks,
rScotty

I used it on the road years sgo and it got me home and I never did anything after...

My guess it depends on how the air is escaping...

Good valve stem with good metal gasketed dust cap?

This is what I use, works really well. My Kioti/ Exmark dealer recommended this to me.

I've recently had good, easy results with "TireJect Off-Road Tubeless Tire Sealant".

From a thread in September.

Update, short term results:
Monitored pressure for 3 days- aired it up to 20lbs each night, flat or 10lbs by noon next day.

Bought the TireJect Lawn Mower 5-in-1 Off-Road Tire Sealant - Flat Tire Protection Kit with Sealant Injector - Repair & Prevent Flat Tires (pack of 3 10oz packs plus deluxe tire stem remover, big syringe style injector that holds 5oz (with another small stem remover inside), 4 valve caps, 2 spare stems) $45@Walmart, took ~ 3 days shipping.
Easy install on front Kubota tire used ~6 or 7 oz.
Injected, aired to 30lbs, drove around yard a bit (?60 yards), re-aired to 30lbs (based on cheap gauge) drove around again, let it sit 2 days, checked pressure w/ brand new DeWalt compressor, was at 33lb. So one gauge is off.
Thought it was a nice step to provide 2 spare stems in case I lost them, but I almost poured the liquid into the syringe BEFORE I noticed the extra small stem remover inside.
Clean up was a breeze, washed off easy with cold water.

Do not use fix a flat unless you want to wire brush the corrosion from the rim at a later date.

Excellent for slow leaks everywhere. Rim, bead, sidewall porosity, tread - it will find it. Seems a true long term fix.

Most people who use it don’t follow the directions. You need to spray it into the tire, then immediately run/spin the tire.
It works, BUT if you have to eventually remove the tire, be prepared for a mess inside.
Tire guys hate the stuff.

Where's the leak?

If it's actually a leak around the rim rather than a puncture, there's a sealant made for the rim, but you have to break the tire from the rim to apply it.
