I have a question about this product, and thought my post might benefit others of the same mind.

Is the Slime put into the tire before you get a leak, as a preventative measure? Or do you add it once you get the flat. I can't see well with the rest of the kit... is there a device that helps you put air back in the flat tire after you add the slime?

I guess I just need more details. Thanks for a new product to ponder RSpeed!

 

you remove the valve stem core, then squeeze it in. replace core and inflate.

I sold the product about ten years ago. It is a pretty cool product, however not to be used in a high-performance tire application.

I guess that really defeats the entire purpose of Rspeed's ad then:

"We have heard again and again how the run-flat tires just do not perform well. Many Cooper and Cooper S owners (like ourselves) just stick with run-flats and pass up on other tire choices out there that would offer incredible performance.
Well now things are about to change... "


my SP9000 r/f perform just fine, btw.

Hmm. Why cant you use it in high performance tires? I understand that squirting a tube of goop into your tire is going to make the tire unbalanced but it should be a fine temporary fix, no? I dont think your tire guy is going to be happy to find all this crap inside your tire when you replace it either....

You can put it in your high performance tire if you wish, but don't expect it to ever be balanced again. You will never get the nail hole or whatever puncture ever fixed because this slime is left in the tire (not removable). No tire shop will touch iot.

 

very interesting. :smile:

I think i'll just use my SP9000's RF's as is.
