Tire… Green slime???

Hey guys! Occasional rider here. What do you think of the green slime for sand tires? I have a feeling I ran over a nail in my last sand run, from burned pallets.

I used it in my rear tire when i ran over a nail and it has not leaked air since but most say not to use it because tire shops wont touch a tire with slime in it

if you have a 400ex shop manuel, just go to tire repair page and it will show you how to repair the tire with a plug.

I agree with glamiskid395. Plug a tire, don't slime it. I keep a plug kit and 12v air compressor in my trailer box just in case.

i slime every tire i have before i ever ride on it. i have never had a tire shop not touch my tire because it is slimed. plus with slime i dont have to ride on a flat all the way back to the trailer to plug it.
