    I tried the stuff it does help with the flat tire situation and the balancing. How ever I prefer Blancemasters or Cetrmatics
    THe kinds I've seen and used are LiguiTube LiquiTube® 5 Gallon Pail | Premium Tire Sealant | Tractorseats.com
    and Amerseal Amerseal Tire Sealant 5 Gallon

    Be careful with some of the liquid stuff. It can actually melt and eat thru the inner liner guage. They can also corrode the wheels and valve stems. Tire manufacturers do not approve of them and will not warranty a defect after this stuff is used. When we get one in for warranty claims inspection we just scrap it. It also makes the casing worthless for a retread. Balancing agents made with glass beads are the only ones approved. Glass beads will not clump and hold moisture. Moisture in tires is bad. The air pressure can actually push the moisture into the inner liner and permeate the steel cords causing ply separation's.

    Tire life. Was originally used in equipment tires to keep them pliable. Have used it for years.

    I asked a guy who runs a few dump trucks and he uses 32oz of windshield washer fluid in each 11R 24.5, steer. I didn’t go this route, though I considered it but rather went with the beads.
