Do any of you use the green slime or something like it in your ATV tires? I just got my first flat and it’s a bummer. I do have a puncture kit and a compressor, but this time it’s just a super thorn of some sort and really a pinhole.
Pros and cons?

If the hole is in the tread, I'd go with the puncture kit.

Such a tiny hole. You know? My puncture kit will crank a hole 25x this pin hole. It just feels wrong. If I was at Kamp Kooch, I’d plug it for sure.

It solved the issue for a while, but it wasn't a long term solution. Cleaning the crap up later isn't a lot of fun. Not out much but some time for trying it though. |

I put a tube in it. Found multiple pin holes.

I have used slime in my Golf Cart tires and in my ATV tires when I used to take it to SD for Prairie Dog shoots. The prickly pear were tough on ATV tires......and that was an absolute solution. Same on my Golf Cart.....seems I always had a slow leak....and the slime ended issues. The tire guys will hate you tho....lol.

My buddy owns a tire shop and he absolutely hates the tire slime. Apparently it makes their job very messy.
Having said that, my ATV trailer tires both have some type of slow leak so the slime doesn't sound too bad for that problem.

Slime solves those hand truck tire issues and all small tire leaks IMO......as long as you have tubeless tires. I am told that some use it in bike tires too.....with tubes. Dunno....bout that. |

Are you using the e bike much? For stand approach? Never used the bike last fall for getting to a stand. I had it at the deer land....but always either walked or used the golf cart to get us around. I do ride it around my home area a few times each week....and enjoy the trips here....but it has been a no-go for deer hunting so far. |
