I agree - when folks say "slime" I am referring to the green slime that is common at wal mart etc. IMO there are much better ones out there than this brand - and that comes from much experience

I use the green slime from Walmart in the gallon jug in my lawn mower which mows around a lot of mesquites and our front tractor tires, its good stuff. Been working in the tractor for about 7-8 years and the mower for 5.

I don't know why such the fascination with the "best" slime works that's the best for me.

Have used Slime for a long time in ATV & UTV tires, works really well but I still carry an air pump & plug kit.

No fascination - when you are running an ATV or RTV through south texas it is a bit different from a lawn mower or tractor. I have done it for years and tried green slime and had it fail on me. I switched to a better brand (posted in previous post) that stops some pretty big thorns

Moral here is t0 be prepared, Slime or some other product in every tire and carry on board plugs & air compressor. Have tools/jack and spare at camp for atv and these are installed on board for UTV/ranch truck.

I've used this with excellent results, I highly recommend it.http://thepurplegoo.com/products.php

Also Cary one of these with some extra tanks:
https://www.walmart.com/ip/Slime-CO2-Tire-Inflator/49455294

Plug kit:
https://www.walmart.com/ip/1034-A-T-Handle-Tire-Plug-Kit-USA-Brand-Slime/883774419

Get one of those small Husky tool bags from Home Depot to carry the CO2 and plug kit in, and it should be easy to cary somewhere on the ATV. Something like this.
http://www.homedepot.com/p/Milwaukee-Red-Zipper-Pouch-48-22-8180/205560122

As long as you have normal size ATV tires, one CO2 tank should be enough to get you going again. But always cary a couple extra in case it's hard to find where the tire is leaking. I've had to use mine a couple of times, and it's worked great.

I would suggest QuadBoss sealant, it comes in individual tire size or the larger gallon to do all four tires. Not the cheapest, but it's worth every penny. I wouldn't consider driving it off the trailer without a sealant in the tires, but slime is not a good product for anything larger than a thorn prick.

Review my post on page 2. Slime worked on a hole that was way bigger than I thought it could seal. There may be better stuff than Slime. But, i’ve been very pleased with Slime.

Any issues with corrosion on the wheels when using slime in them? I read a review on one of the Polaris forums that using it will damage the wheels over time.

When i bought my mule 4 years ago, i bought what i beleive iis one of the best stuff made. I use it as a bulldozer running over mesquite and those wild fruit bushes and have yet to have a flat. You can watch reviews online where people actually used a ak-47 and shot their tires then drive their vehicles around. Regular old slime somehow dries up after a while, i've seen it at the local tire shop. This stuff stays liquid and will outlast your tire.
I bought the bulletproff since it only goes up to 25 mph.
