SomethingFishy* Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Slime is not designed for trailer tires. More importantly it is not designed for repairing sidewalls. Check out FF for inexpensive tire replacment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black_Bay Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Any sidewall damage warrants buying a new tire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratmn218 Posted November 24, 2007 Author Share Posted November 24, 2007 never had sidewall damage, it is simply leaking from what i would describe as a pore in the rubber.leaks so slow i had to dunk the tire to find the leak. tire is otherwise like brand new Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 I would have the tire dismounted and looked at from the inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macgyver55 Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 If you ever have had the "pleasure" of dismounting a tire that had Slime in it, or worse yet Fix a Flat you wouldn't want to use it. Not saying I've never used it myself, but I'll go to great lengths to avoid it because I do all my own tire repair and mounting. If I'm doing it for someone else I would charge more if I find it in there. You'll never regret doing something the right way, so if you can see where its coming out, have it repaired.

Daveo Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Sounds like a simple bead leak. you may want to take it off the trailer and let the air out,,sometimes you can break the bead by hand on the smaller tires,, Then clean the rim edge the best you can.and inflate the tire and see if yea fixed it..If you didnt fix it bring it to a tire shop and they can for pretty cheap.Other wise just go get a new one they realy are not all that spendy.Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
