All it does is swell the rubber. It's used on buna nytryl O rings in air rifles too. The solution is not to let it rot in the first place by spraying silicone oil inside and outside the tyre on a regular basis. Wipe off the excess outside. Silicone grease rubbed into the tyre wall works even better. Power steering fluid does the same job. The problem is with a tyre as bad as that is when the wall flexes it WILL leak. A mower tyre fine but please not on ANY type of road vehicle tyre including trailers.

People NEVER EVER PUT BEET JUICE in a tire. You will regret it when you have to put in more air and the beet juice clogs your tire filler and air pressure gauge, but, most of all, it makes the tire ride ROCK HARD and kills your back. EPIC BAD IDEA ON SO MANY LEVELS. If you need rear weight just hand it off the 3pt in the back.

DOES the transmission fluid dissolve the tire in time ?? You know you can make slim for cheap.

Not real sure about that I’ve had transmission fluid in tires over years-to me it’s just a temporary fix and it’s about time for those tires to be replaced anyway

ATF has softening agents to keep the rubber seal in an automatic transmission from getting hard and cracking with all the heat from friction

Interesting idea. I guess the ATF swells up the rubber (actual seals in a transmission) and make it good again... Thumbs Up!

It should work just fine for you It is easy to drain out if you took it to the tire shop -at that point just drill a hole in the tire(it’s trash anyway) let it run out into a container Thanks for watching

Tried putting slime in my Kubota zd 1511. My sidewalls were dry rotted and leaking. Worked for about 6 months. Just replaced the tires today. $496 dollars for 2 tires. Insane

I put new tires on my snowmobile trailer, and picked up a nail. I moved it from the back yard to the driveway before I noticed it was flat. I fixed the leak, but it went flat again. The tire was leaking all around the sidewall from moving it when it was flat. Cheap tires?

Chinese made rubber? Maybe dirt along the rim. Ever since we started importing things made in China I have noticed the smell of their rubber was very different. Back in the early 1990’s my daughter’s first tricycle smelled funky. It was the rubber tires. For years we joked around when we bought something new that had to be put together, we say “It smells like China”. lol. She is turning 32 now so it’s been like that for quite awhile.
