after watching your video I went out and ordered some. Wow I fixed dry cracked tractor tire and it is still holding are after 2 weeks. I also had a pinhole in my UTV tire I put 2 oz in that and it sealed in 10 seconds and it was done. this stuff works great.
sixtyfiveford Right it is crazy I ened up only ordering a refill bag to save money. I aready had a Valve stem remover tool and a large syringe for pushing the stuff into the tire and I just cut some hose off of an old Fix-A-Flat can I had laying around. This stuff is great. Saved me a ton of mo ey and tome if i had to replace or put tubes in the tires. Thanks for the great videos.
Timely video, I’ve been keeping an air tank out by my mower for 2 years, looking into airless tires @ $50 each. But first thing to try is this. Thanks for posting such a detailed review
I ordered some of this, not from Amazon, but from TireJect direct, and we put some into a almost new truck tire that is 4 yrs old and seems to lose air, over time. We are impressed with the way it has fixed the leak. I didn't think it would be any better than Slime but it sure is. Glad you have this video, and glad I listened to you, and bought some. New tires on older rims seems to be our problem but TireJect fixed it and I am glad I don't have to go out and buy a new tire, $150.00 is a bunch of money and the tires aren't worn out.
onelonelyfarmer shot a 10yr old atv tire that wouldent hold air after putting tireject in it and it was a 22cal pistal shot the wheel and it passed through the tire in and out the other side he just rocked the tire with this product in it and it sealed it! i even typed the company to inform them of what there product was doing and they said in all the testing they had never tryed that but was happy it worked for him and said they would check the video themselves it really does work!! i would never recomend anything to anyone but this i would!!
It's good stuff, I've used it on a lot of lawnmower tires, and even put some in my wife's car after she ran over a nail, it sealed it up and didn't throw the tire out of balance. I only used about 4 ounces in the car tire but I think if you used much more it would create a balance problem. But it's great for ATVs or lawnmowers.
I was shown this stuff when I first started working at a John Deere dealership. We fix a LOT of tires and I was skeptical, but after seeing the rust and corrosion that fix-a-flat leaves and the ineffectiveness of Slime, I felt I had no reason to not try it out. I guess before I had got there, they were losing a LOT of money on tire repairs by just using Slime or tire plugs. People would bring them back, still leaking. Once they got the Tire Ject, bring backs were no longer occuring. It really is awesome stuff. We fix a TON of good tires with this stuff and people are very pleased with it.
I like the looks of this stuff. I had slime in a hand truck. Didn't work well and stunk up my shop. I have a 3 wheeler that I want to make a fat tire 2 wheeler out of. Of course the tires are dry rotted. Now I have a cheap fix. Thanks amigo.
I have a Grizzly 600 and a Rhino 660 and go a long ways up old fire roads and have always worried about walking out because of a flat tire. We also have a lot of cactus around here and get slow leaks from them. This sounds like a dream come true. Glad I subbed to you and will be ordering a kit today to try out. Thanks.
Thanks sixtyfiveford. Your timing is perfect! I searched and watched several videos on dry rotted tires yesterday and saw nothing impressive. I have 4 vehicles that sit most of the time as I usually only drive my F-150. This could save me a bundle.
I've driven many times on tires that probably shouldn't be driven on. Dry rot on car tires makes me nervous if I plan to take them at highway speeds but I wouldn't have an issue around town at slower speeds. I think this stuff is marketed more towards off road/non highway tires but if it leaks this will seal it.
Thanks for the video been using slime and during my latest restoration of a 1990 Yamaha Moto 4 250cc four wheeler the slime just wasn't cutting it ! After spending $30 at the local tire shop getting a tube installed got her back on the road however now seeing your video I will definitely have some for the next go around! I enjoy your videos and look forward to future ones! Always learning something new from you Thanks a ton!
I saw his video a few years ago and I'm impressed with stuff. I've used the thicker slime type sealants forever but the tire has to keep moving or the wound has to be left at the bottom, or else the puncture will reopen. This stuff seams to glue the hole closed. I did another tire with this TireJect and spun it a few times and left the wound at the top. It has held all of it's air for a few days now.
Try Stans! Seals tubless mountain bike tires without a lot of product. I run over tons of thorns and its amazing stuff. To put it in though you have to pop the tire off the bead and squirt it in there. It looks like milk. My mountain bike has been sitting on tubless for 2 years now. They will slowly lose air but when you pump them back up they kind of heal themselves and re seal.
yup ive seen this stuff work on an atv wheel that was old shot with .22 completely threw the tire and this stuff sealed it.. onelonelyfarmer did this with the 22..i called the company and told them..they said they never tryed it like that but was happy to see and know it worked :)
I realize that this is an older video.....but have been working my way backwards through all that you've posted. I have several tires that I'm ready to try this on; wanted to use your link (for purchasing) since you're the one who introduced me (& you have outstanding content). Thanks!
Great stuff/review. I put a load of Slime in my dry rotted Baja Minibike and when I hit a root/rock it sprays a bit out the side and coats some wildlife, but holds air. Get that 4 wheeler going!
hey Moe, I like your product reviews as much as your DIY content. You give a lot of practical and personal experience information about the product in a short amount of time. They are very professional.I hope you do more product reviews. I bet they are easier and faster to do than your DIY videos. I have been finding my viewers often like my product reviews more than my DIY and they are a lot easier and quicker for me to do.
It's always great to see a hands on review from others. I feel product reviews get a lot of traffic but might not build a new loyal subscriber base? I try to limit them, but they are way quicker to produce. I procrastinate about doing them and have had this one on my list for a few months.
Watched your vid, looks like decent stuff. Ordered the "ATV Tire Sealant - Tire Protection Kit". I have a slow leak in one of my SxS tires, we'll see if this helps. If it does I'll have a few extra containers to carry for emergencies. The kit was $55 but they also have a discount code generator on the site that gave me another 20% so like $11 off and free shipping so not bad. Got 4 10oz containers the syringe, 4 red valve caps to mark what tire its in and the Schrader valve tool. Thanks!
Great video! First I have heard of this stuff! I have a Honda 3 wheeler with similar tires and slime never seals the rims for me. Thanks also (unlike other people) Keeping your video swear free!
having used about every tire sealant sold, this is one of the best products for tire sealing. I did try using the expanding foam in a can on a old lawnmower wagon , probably the most expensive fix but it will never go flat again. I wish someone would make the foam inserts like we used to run on the motocross bikes.
I run a "tubliss" system on my dirt bikes that can be prone to slow leaks and a friend showed me a product called Stans no tubes tire sealant. it looks similar to what your showing here. like a liquid latex. works like a charm and no messy cleanup when changing tires.
sixtyfiveford ya, im surprised they don't market Stans to more people than just the mountain bike crowd. I'd try this stuff but it looks like Stans is actually cheaper.
They recommend 10oz of product per tire up to 27 inch (ATV tires). I just bought a used ATV and all four tires have slow leaks, minor dry rot on two of them, thought about trying this as a temporary, until more funds become available, until I checked the Amazon link. 58.00! Dayam! It would be worth it if these tires would last a few more years, but they are slick as a minnows peter
I find with wheel off u can bang it on the floor from side to side end to end for several minutes it seems the sealer really works well entering all the cracks using this method.
Great review! Wish I knew about this 2 years ago. Pulled the studs out of the 3 wheeler, that slime just don't cut it for me. Did purchase several new tires. I would imagine that one would have to clean the slime out for this product to work properly? This tip is huge for me here where I have other machines this would be very useful on. Thank you for sharing the knowledge and video!
I've cleaned slime out of a few tires and it seams to congeal if left with a valve core out. So I bet this stuff would go right in without removing the slime if the slime had set up.
The first thing when I got out in the shop today was go upstairs and check if I still had that old tire. Yup! I had someone get a replacement (front on the 3 wheeler) not thrilled with it so I will be doing this on the old one which I really prefer over the new one. The rest of the story is I spent good part of a day putting plugs in the rear ones after removing the studs and thought it would be easier to just buy a front one. Going to do the kart ice tires too. From what I've seen that slime rusts the inner rims too. Wanted to tell you the rest of the story so you'd know why I was so grateful on your video! That 4 wheeler you have there sounds pretty special too. Read your info on that after leaving the post. Thank you again for your thoughts!
I used the very common green stuff, can't remember what it was called, and it fixed my lawn tractor and 32 year old ATV tire. $10 ish on amazon. The key is rolling the tire for a long time after putting it in. Drive around for 30 minutes if you can.
I have always out the recommended pumps of slime from their calculator. For that size tire i think it wnds up being like 25 pumps of something. Id have to look up again my size rears. One pump is about an ounce they say. It always has sealed my sidewalls or oine holes or whatever without any problem?
I have started to use Armor All on my mower tires to protect against the sun and stuff and it seems to slow down the checking and rot. ( I ran across Jay Leno`s channel and he had a guy on there who painted his VW with boiled linseed oil.) That gives me lots of ideas! When they get a nail or something in them (believe it or not, honey locust thorns puncture tires real good. We have lots of them here in PA,) I just run a tire plug or two in the hole. I still use Berryman`s tire sealer in a pinch and it does work, but you have to keep an eye on the tire and refill it if it goes flat. Generally, two or three refills and the leak stops. Will keep and eye out for the liquid rubber product here locally, Thanks 65!
You nailed it on the Honey Locust thorns . If people are not familiar with them, just picture a the toy Jacks that has points sticking up in every direction, except these thorns are needle sharp and tough. You usually get several punctures at once. I had to run tire sealant in every things that went near the woods, dirt bike, 3 wheeler s, mower, yard trailers etc. What a curse they are.
I might have to try some of the newer tire sealants. I've never had luck with them in the past, even slime never seemed to work well. I got to the point i'd rather just spend the money and replace the tires.
You da man!You changed my world a few years ago with your ShoeGoo to fix leaks in inflatables video.I fix next to everything with Shoe Goo (or E6000...same thing) now and I'm sure this will work on the tiny (smaller than pin holes) leaks in my two John Deere tires.Thanks!
Very interesting product. Thanks for the heads up. Those tires look surprisingly good for 30 years old. Looks like they havnt lost any tread. That 4 wheeler may be like new on the inside.
I'm am a big fan of the slime type sealants as well, but this sealed faster than I have ever seen. I even left the puncture at the top overnight, which will generally cause slime to leak again when it is in a new repair, but it hasn't leaked a bit.
Very interesting products oh, I never really liked the goop especially if you put them in a bike you could feel like going up and down and then it hardens in one spot. Just watched another guy but big gap foam inside of his tires and it worked fine
That stuff looks like concrete sealer. You can buy it at Lowes. Don't know what type of powder to add to it though. Some will add pepper to liquid starch. So maybe pepper would work. I'm always looking for a cheaper way.
This would work great. I've been using bead sealer(looks like black rubber cement) for the past couple of years on pesky bead leaks. It works good but requires fully breaking the bead off the rim. This stuff will save a lot of hassle.
I bought some. Tire Ject Tried on my lawn tractor front tire. My sidewall still leaks. Lol Rotated tire lots . Even stuck tire in the lathe and rotaed slowly. Little Crack still leaking. Lol stuck a little more than called for. Shook the pouch well liquid came out blue.
I've had to take a few tires and tip them on their side so the fluid can run to the crack. To the point where sometimes I can see the whitish fluid weeping out, but they always seal right up.
When tires are that old and dry rot, I replace them. I pay 102.00 for 2 size 20X8X8, this way I now get better traction, and hopefully my mind at piece
Last year, I replaced my mower tires and the first time I used it the sidewall got punctured by thorns. The sidewall was so thin it could not be patched. Sealant like this is a good alternative to repeated tire failures, not from neglected rotten tires.
Thanks,I'll give it a try,anything has to be better than green slime garbage.It has excellent reviews.My tire is plugged,but still have to put air in every 3 days.
I've had great results with tire slime, you just have to add a TON, so it can move freely. However, I have never had anything work as well as this Tire-ject.
I never put any green slime in tire,I only ride on Sundays because of hunting season,well attleast until they make hunting on Sundays in Pa.,which they have been trying to do for years.I have a question,I have ITP 589's and I was told you can put 10 to 15 lbs in these tires,but it says right on tire 6 lbs max.Just wondering,thank you
I've never had trouble running upwards of 15-20psi in any non highway tire. Most will have a max bead setting pressure along with the max running. The max bead seating pressure is a good rule of thumb for the max psi the tire can actually handle. These should have a 25psi bead seat rating. The tires sponginess acts as suspension and a few PSI makes a huge difference. I have several vintage ATVs that have zero suspension and only rely on the tire deflection for suspension. Too high PSI and it will launch you off a bump vs adsorbing it.
Thanks I did look into farther for PSI rating and best to run low pressure like 3 or 4 lbs for best handling,more if your hauling heavy weight,I always ran 7lbs,and it beat the hell out of me and every nut and bolt that could come lose,came lose.They say it should handle well at 3lbs and better traction in mud and snow.Thanks for commenting,I'll keep watching your vids
Very interesting stuff. Personally I would replace the tires which are so old, but for something not so old, this might be great. My Honda ATC has one pretty bad tire on it, which is about 10 years old. I may give this stuff a try.
Over a year ago I sealed a 20 year old hand truck tire with woodworking glue. The cheap home depo brand diluted 4 table spoons to 1 tablespoon of water. I put it in the tire and in more than a year it been runing great. No flats and even hauled washing machines on it. It's the poor mans fix.
i actually repaired a small lawn mower tube with left over patches from my bike its only been 4 maybe 5 months but it slowly loses air but not as bad. the tires are in excellent condition but they dont have plugs for themi have only one tire on my mower that would need to be pumped up every 2 weeks and it took me almost 7 months to find the leak. i found it on the back side where the tread meets the side wall but other than that the tires were never replaced since it was bought in 2005
Cheers for the review Moe, I used to have that slime in the tyres on my Honda CBR600 worked really well, but like you said, you need loads and when you start you feel it sloshing around.
For mower tires that have slow leaks I use the cheapest liquid hand soap that I can buy. I have even used it for a old 15 inch farm wagon. It has always worked for me. The odd time I may have to add air a second time. I have tires holding air from 5 or 6 years ago. I usually break the bead and pour some in. Usually half a bottle works. I put a full bottle in the wagon tire. At $2.99 a bottle I'm not to worried about putting extra in. Cheapest fix I've used. Way cheaper than slime.
I just bought my first quad last month, a Polaris 425. These low pressure tires always made me nervous. I worried about riding where I had just bush hogged and left sharp stubs sticking out of the ground. It has been almost a year now. Are you still satisfied with this product ?
I haven't put a drop of air in these tires since I added this stuff. I have used tire slime sealants for years on over 100 tires and they take a ton but also work.... Tire-Ject is completely different and I have never had a product work this good or fast. I left a little bit out in the air and it turns into a rubber with about the same firmness of an innertube.
Thanks for getting back to me. Now here is the way my luck will play out: I buy this stuff. I pretreat my tires so I am not broken down in the boonies and then I run over something that puts a 3/4 inch hole in my tire !!! And of course, this stuff isn't designed for that level of stupidity !!! Take care my friend !
@DrydenTeele. I've had ok success with slime diluted with windshield washer fluid (25-50%). This allows it to flow around the tire better. However this Tire-Ject is better, it's just pricey.
yes im gonna try it too in my 70 147 cub the tires are the good year chevron treated ones still like new but the side walls are all dry rotten save 150.00 if it works as well as i have a 90 kawasaki bayou with tires that go flat we have to doing it cheap thats what paw paw would say
I've put slime in a lot of tires and currently have some dry rotted chevrons on my 73 Simplicity that don't leak(put slime in almost 10years ago) as well as my mid 80's Suzuki(put in 5years ago). It took a lot of slime to seal them up but I think this TireJect stuff would do it better with far less.
I just acquired a 1997 atv that has about half tread tires on it. I don't need real knobby tires or new tires, but the area i will be using the atv has a lot of cactus (a lot) so I am hoping that this will work with sealing up all the cactus thorns that gets in the tires. Lol
This stuff will do it. It's the best tire sealant I've ever used. It sloshes around and continues to seal any new punctures for 1-2 years. After this it turns from a liquid to a solid(consistency of a rubber inner tube) and no longer sloshes around. The thin layer continues to seal new minor punctures like cactus needles but won't seal new huge punctures after this time(all old punctures are permanently sealed).
I put slime in it already .. it’s not holding air ..would I need to drain out the slime and use this product or can I add it to what ever is already in the tire . I only need it for this weekend lol then it’s new tires lol
I have an old Yard Wagon and the tires are very weathered and have tubes. I really don't want to buy new tires as they are pretty expensive. Can I use a Sealant in the tires and then inflate the tube??
Yeah. Fix a flat... Tried and proven stuff. Project farm did a review on tire repair products like slime, fix a flat etc. Fix a flat really made a showing in that test. I think this stuff was also in the test
I recently bought a 2010 Camaro. they don't come with a spare tire. there is an air pump and there are 2 settings, one just air and the other a combination of air and some kind of white stuff in a bag. I suspect this is what you have. there is an expiration date of 2015 on mine so I will see about getting a new supply and see what the old stuff does to my 4 wheeler tires. they are 11 years old with plenty of wear left, like everyone else's that doesn't ride that much.
I just had a light bulb go on....If this stuff doesnt freeze, could it not be used to balance tires? I've known about tire balancing beads for some time, but wouldn't this work the same way as far as balancing goes and also provide preemptive leak protection?
Possibly. It does solidify after a few years just from the air in the tires. So if it was a car that sat a lot probably wouldn't be good but if it was a daily driver or probably self-balance pretty well.
@@sixtyfiveford I actually reached out to the company and they told me since it does dry up it would not work for that purpose. I think i'm going to try balancing fluid when I change my tires on my truck next.
I usually break them down and put tubes in them but I'd like this better than slime. I've got arthured hands and the slime is a pill to get in the tire. This would be the trick and THANKS!
4 years holding strong? Got an 86 3 wheeler front tire leaking from an old plug. I was about to take off the tire and have someone plug it again but I think I might try this stuff. Just don’t know if I want to replug it myself first before putting in the tireject.
I bought a 32 oz kit which has 4 bags marked 8 oz each. Per the directions, I used the included syringe to inject one bag into a large tire on a 90's garden tractor. The syringe is marked for 2 oz. maximum. Two full syringes (4oz. total) emptied the 8 oz. bag. Is the 8 oz. designation weight? On the bright side, 24 hours and holding, in a tire that wouldn't hold air for four hours. I'm impressed, but want to know if I did it right, or got lucky.
I'm pretty sure the bags are marked FL. OZ/Fluid ounce. But I came up a little shy on my measurement as well. I had a 20oz bag and did 2 tires at 8oz so I should have had 4oz left but only came up with around 2oz remaining. I think the syringe is off on it's measurement and puts more than you think in, I'll have to test it out It looks like they had the syringes custom made/printed for them and would assume the pouches are measured pretty precisely.
I double checked the syringe with water into a measuring cup; including the attached tubing, it pulls 4 0z exactly with two 2 oz line fills. It woud be pretty stupid to screw themselves with a good product by shorting the measures. Anyway, thanks for the video; I'm going to use this a lot.
philod902 if you watch carefully the refill on the syringe allows the product to drain into the tire quite rapidly, if your fill the syringe slowly, especially on the second half your adding excessive product.
I measure the syringe and it is dead on. I came to the conclusion that the tube itself took a little and I probably lost a little in the tire. I tested it with water a few times and in the 6 seconds it takes me to fill the syringe I lost 2oz out the tube(would be in the tire).
That makes sense, and adds up pretty much to the 8 oz total I used . I pinch the tube off now with a spring clamp as I fill the syringe, unless I'm using the full 8 oz. in one tire. After doing 6 tires, I'm sold completely. The only failure was a tire that sat over the winter on a flat, and the bead was broken away. It wouldn't seal. When we took it off the rim, the tireject had mixed with water in the tire, and wouldn't hold or seal. Not the products fault.
I have put 20 oz of slime in big Lawn mowers all four wheels as well as as ATV about twice as much in all four wheels they never have leaked in ten years.
I like Slime and have used gallons of it with good results on dozens of ATVs and tractors. It just takes a ton and doesn't work great on bead leads. This stuff in the video is the best tire sealant I have ever used, hands down. It takes a fraction of amount you need with slime and seals it right up. I let a puddle dry outside the tire and it creates a solid rubber sheet.
I love this stuff. It takes so little to work compared to "slime" type products. 5 years later: I have not put a drop of air in 3 of the tires; they are all still fully inflated! 1 tire developed a small leak 4.5years later in the tread(probably new crack). I added a little more Tireject and it's fixed again.

after watching your video I went out and ordered some. Wow I fixed dry cracked tractor tire and it is still holding are after 2 weeks. I also had a pinhole in my UTV tire I put 2 oz in that and it sealed in 10 seconds and it was done. this stuff works great.
I've never had tires seal up this easily. I'm glad you tried it out.
sixtyfiveford Right it is crazy I ened up only ordering a refill bag to save money. I aready had a Valve stem remover tool and a large syringe for pushing the stuff into the tire and I just cut some hose off of an old Fix-A-Flat can I had laying around. This stuff is great. Saved me a ton of mo ey and tome if i had to replace or put tubes in the tires. Thanks for the great videos.

I put regular wheel bearing grease around the rims keeps them sealed also and prevents rust that makes tires break beads.
Timely video, I’ve been keeping an air tank out by my mower for 2 years, looking into airless tires @ $50 each. But first thing to try is this. Thanks for posting such a detailed review
I like your no non-sense review, straight forward and to the point.
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.
The tire valve is called a Schrader valve. We can thank this guy for inventing the successful tire valve which we all take for granted.
The guy that made this video is way smarter than you, but yet you are going to try to tell him what a Schrader valve is? Get a life.
I ordered some of this, not from Amazon, but from TireJect direct, and we put some into a almost new truck tire that is 4 yrs old and seems to lose air, over time. We are impressed with the way it has fixed the leak. I didn't think it would be any better than Slime but it sure is. Glad you have this video, and glad I listened to you, and bought some. New tires on older rims seems to be our problem but TireJect fixed it and I am glad I don't have to go out and buy a new tire, $150.00 is a bunch of money and the tires aren't worn out.
Awesome, I've used this a few times now for bead sealing.
onelonelyfarmer shot a 10yr old atv tire that wouldent hold air after putting tireject in it and it was a 22cal pistal shot the wheel and it passed through the tire in and out the other side he just rocked the tire with this product in it and it sealed it! i even typed the company to inform them of what there product was doing and they said in all the testing they had never tryed that but was happy it worked for him and said they would check the video themselves it really does work!! i would never recomend anything to anyone but this i would!!
Yeah, I saw his video.
I had a bead leak on my JD lawn tractor about 5 years ago that Slime wouldn't seal, TireJect sealed it and it is still holding air. Great product
Is it still holding air?
I tried this on 2 different lawn tractor tires. A front and a back. Both worked perfectly, and I was surprised how little it actually took.
It's good stuff, I've used it on a lot of lawnmower tires, and even put some in my wife's car after she ran over a nail, it sealed it up and didn't throw the tire out of balance. I only used about 4 ounces in the car tire but I think if you used much more it would create a balance problem. But it's great for ATVs or lawnmowers.
That's good to know. I'm impressed with it so far.
Based on your review, I bought the sealant and it fixed a 3 year slow leaky lawn tractor tire. The tire has been holding fine for a couple weeks now.
I was shown this stuff when I first started working at a John Deere dealership. We fix a LOT of tires and I was skeptical, but after seeing the rust and corrosion that fix-a-flat leaves and the ineffectiveness of Slime, I felt I had no reason to not try it out. I guess before I had got there, they were losing a LOT of money on tire repairs by just using Slime or tire plugs. People would bring them back, still leaking.

A fat tire bike is on my bucket list. Looks like a lot of fun.
I have a Grizzly 600 and a Rhino 660 and go a long ways up old fire roads and have always worried about walking out because of a flat tire. We also have a lot of cactus around here and get slow leaks from them. This sounds like a dream come true. Glad I subbed to you and will be ordering a kit today to try out. Thanks.
This stuff is awesome.
Thanks sixtyfiveford. Your timing is perfect! I searched and watched several videos on dry rotted tires yesterday and saw nothing impressive. I have 4 vehicles that sit most of the time as I usually only drive my F-150. This could save me a bundle.

Thanks for the video been using slime and during my latest restoration of a 1990 Yamaha Moto 4 250cc four wheeler the slime just wasn't cutting it !

I enjoy your videos and look forward to future ones! Always learning something new from you Thanks a ton!
This is the quickest I've had dry rot tires seal up. I've been able to get slime to work, but it takes tons.
sixtyfiveford
I couldn't agree with you more! It shocked me ! I keep slime here in gallon jugs !
Last time I bought Rotary tire sealant(just like slime) I bought it in a 5 gallon bucket.
One lonely farmer has shown this product a few times and now you. Ima gonna get some that now. Thanks for the vid.
I saw his video a few years ago and I'm impressed with stuff. I've used the thicker slime type sealants forever but the tire has to keep moving or the wound has to be left at the bottom, or else the puncture will reopen. This stuff seams to glue the hole closed. I did another tire with this TireJect and spun it a few times and left the wound at the top. It has held all of it's air for a few days now.
Recently discovered your channel and thank you for it. You sure know and share a lot of stuff worth having in your (my) bag of tricks!
Thanks Man.
Try Stans! Seals tubless mountain bike tires without a lot of product. I run over tons of thorns and its amazing stuff. To put it in though you have to pop the tire off the bead and squirt it in there. It looks like milk. My mountain bike has been sitting on tubless for 2 years now. They will slowly lose air but when you pump them back up they kind of heal themselves and re seal.
yup ive seen this stuff work on an atv wheel that was old shot with .22 completely threw the tire and this stuff sealed it.. onelonelyfarmer did this with the 22..i called the company and told them..they said they never tryed it like that but was happy to see and know it worked :)
This is by far the best I've ever used.
I realize that this is an older video.....but have been working my way backwards through all that you've posted.
I have several tires that I'm ready to try this on; wanted to use your link (for purchasing) since you're the one who introduced me (& you have outstanding content). Thanks!
Awesome. The tires from the video just barely needed a slight top up of air for the first time last fall. This is some impressive stuff.
I came back to thank you, this video convinced my to try TireJect on my 'new' lawn tractor that had badly rotted tires. 3 months sealed so far!
Is the tire still good with the same tireject?
@@TheRainHarvester I had to add a little more to one of the tires.
Great stuff/review. I put a load of Slime in my dry rotted Baja Minibike and when I hit a root/rock it sprays a bit out the side and coats some wildlife, but holds air.
Get that 4 wheeler going!
Those Chinese rubber tires seam to dry rot pretty fast. As long as it holds air.
hey Moe, I like your product reviews as much as your DIY content. You give a lot of practical and personal experience information about the product in a short amount of time. They are very professional.I hope you do more product reviews. I bet they are easier and faster to do than your DIY videos. I have been finding my viewers often like my product reviews more than my DIY and they are a lot easier and quicker for me to do.
It's always great to see a hands on review from others. I feel product reviews get a lot of traffic but might not build a new loyal subscriber base? I try to limit them, but they are way quicker to produce. I procrastinate about doing them and have had this one on my list for a few months.
You have the best ways on how to do and get the best bang for the buck thanks keepem coming.
Watched your vid, looks like decent stuff. Ordered the "ATV Tire Sealant - Tire Protection Kit". I have a slow leak in one of my SxS tires, we'll see if this helps. If it does I'll have a few extra containers to carry for emergencies. The kit was $55 but they also have a discount code generator on the site that gave me another 20% so like $11 off and free shipping so not bad. Got 4 10oz containers the syringe, 4 red valve caps to mark what tire its in and the Schrader valve tool. Thanks!
The guy actually jammed a screwdriver in his tire to prove it works. Thumbs up + sub + bell for u sir.
Great video! First I have heard of this stuff! I have a Honda 3 wheeler with similar tires and slime never seals the rims for me. Thanks also (unlike other people) Keeping your video swear free!
Thanks. I've been very impressed with this stuff. I haven't added a drop of air to these tires since the video.
Used to be a time when tubes were reasonably priced but now days this looks like a better option.
They really have got expensive. I priced out the tubes for this machine and it was roughly $20-25 a tube.
very cool added to my Amazon wish list Thanks for the info
It sealed all 4 of the tires quick. I'm impressed.
having used about every tire sealant sold, this is one of the best products for tire sealing. I did try using the expanding foam in a can on a old lawnmower wagon , probably the most expensive fix but it will never go flat again. I wish someone would make the foam inserts like we used to run on the motocross bikes.
The spray foams seams to break down after a while. I've seen the foam rubber tire inserts for bikes/etc and that seams to be a good product.

I run a "tubliss" system on my dirt bikes that can be prone to slow leaks and a friend showed me a product called Stans no tubes tire sealant. it looks similar to what your showing here. like a liquid latex. works like a charm and no messy cleanup when changing tires.
I've heard of the Stan's. I think a lot of hard core mountain bikes use this. It's probably the same stuff as this TireJect.
sixtyfiveford
ya, im surprised they don't market Stans to more people than just the mountain bike crowd. I'd try this stuff but it looks like Stans is actually cheaper.
Stan's does not contain Kevlar and is specifically formulated for use in bicycles.
I see that the Stan's claims 1/4" hole and the Tireject 3/8" hole. The Dupont Kevlar probably helps achieve this.
sixtyfiveford
in that case it might be worth a try, thanks!
Well I am getting more and more old tires around here. Thanks Moe. I have used Slime and tubes. This is interesting.
Slime type sealants are my go to. Followed by tubes, just hate how long it takes to do them. I think I found my new go to with this stuff.
They recommend 10oz of product per tire up to 27 inch (ATV tires). I just bought a used ATV and all four tires have slow leaks, minor dry rot on two of them, thought about trying this as a temporary, until more funds become available, until I checked the Amazon link. 58.00! Dayam! It would be worth it if these tires would last a few more years, but they are slick as a minnows peter
This would be the ticket here. I go through probably 3-4 gallons of slime when people don't want to spend the $$ on a new tire. Awesome Moe! Zip~
I buy the Rotary brand slime in 5 gallon buckets. I think this stuff is going to be my new go to.
SOLD! Thanks for the review.
I'm impressed with it. It seams to setup and glue the wound closed.
I GIVE YOU CREDIT FOR RESPONDING TO ALL THE IGNORANT QUESTIONS/COMMENTS ON THIS VIDEO, AS MOST OF THEM ARE.
No one gives you credit for being a dick though.
Just because something might be obvious to you doesn't make it ingnorant
I find with wheel off u can bang it on the floor from side to side end to end for several minutes it seems the sealer really works well entering all the cracks using this method.
Very true.
FYI for golf cart tires places that do lifts will basically give you the stock tires. I go through them all the time locking up the brakes to slide.
Good to know.
Great review! Wish I knew about this 2 years ago. Pulled the studs out of the 3 wheeler, that slime just don't cut it for me. Did purchase several new tires. I would imagine that one would have to clean the slime out for this product to work properly? This tip is huge for me here where I have other machines this would be very useful on. Thank you for sharing the knowledge and video!
I've cleaned slime out of a few tires and it seams to congeal if left with a valve core out. So I bet this stuff would go right in without removing the slime if the slime had set up.
The first thing when I got out in the shop today was go upstairs and check if I still had that old tire. Yup! I had someone get a replacement (front on the 3 wheeler) not thrilled with it so I will be doing this on the old one which I really prefer over the new one. The rest of the story is I spent good part of a day putting plugs in the rear ones after removing the studs and thought it would be easier to just buy a front one. Going to do the kart ice tires too. From what I've seen that slime rusts the inner rims too. Wanted to tell you the rest of the story so you'd know why I was so grateful on your video! That 4 wheeler you have there sounds pretty special too. Read your info on that after leaving the post. Thank you again for your thoughts!
I used the very common green stuff, can't remember what it was called, and it fixed my lawn tractor and 32 year old ATV tire. $10 ish on amazon. The key is rolling the tire for a long time after putting it in. Drive around for 30 minutes if you can.
I have always out the recommended pumps of slime from their calculator. For that size tire i think it wnds up being like 25 pumps of something. Id have to look up again my size rears. One pump is about an ounce they say.
It always has sealed my sidewalls or oine holes or whatever without any problem?
I have started to use Armor All on my mower tires to protect against the sun and stuff and it seems to slow down the checking and rot. ( I ran across Jay Leno`s channel and he had a guy on there who painted his VW with boiled linseed oil.) That gives me lots of ideas! When they get a nail or something in them (believe it or not, honey locust thorns puncture tires real good. We have lots of them here in PA,) I just run a tire plug or two in the hole. I still use Berryman`s tire sealer in a pinch and it does work, but you have to keep an eye on the tire and refill it if it goes flat. Generally, two or three refills and the leak stops. Will keep and eye out for the liquid rubber product here locally, Thanks 65!
Jay Leno gets some neat vehicles through his shop.
Yeah, it won't be long and Leno will own EVERY neat vehicle in the world. Surprisingly, he knows his shit.
You nailed it on the Honey Locust thorns . If people are not familiar with them, just picture a the toy Jacks that has points sticking up in every direction, except these thorns are needle sharp and tough. You usually get several punctures at once.
I had to run tire sealant in every things that went near the woods, dirt bike, 3 wheeler s, mower, yard trailers etc.
What a curse they are.
The 303 aerospace stuff is amazing try it
I use pure antifreeze on my loaders and it worked great
Thanks buddy great video I can also hear the morning doves in the background sounds cool
Glad you liked it.
I might have to try some of the newer tire sealants. I've never had luck with them in the past, even slime never seemed to work well. I got to the point i'd rather just spend the money and replace the tires.
I'm impressed how well this stuff sealed the tires right up.
it look like it works but I missed what the product is called and where I can buy it. Thanks
You da man!You changed my world a few years ago with your ShoeGoo to fix leaks in inflatables video.I fix next to everything with Shoe Goo (or E6000...same thing) now and I'm sure this will work on the tiny (smaller than pin holes) leaks in my two John Deere tires.Thanks!
Very interesting product. Thanks for the heads up. Those tires look surprisingly good for 30 years old. Looks like they havnt lost any tread. That 4 wheeler may be like new on the inside.
I wonder how that stuff will work after a weekend of hanging out at a hard core chili cook off? Pepto dont really do the job!
always interesting to see new products as you I love slime it was a great product but this seems better
I'm am a big fan of the slime type sealants as well, but this sealed faster than I have ever seen. I even left the puncture at the top overnight, which will generally cause slime to leak again when it is in a new repair, but it hasn't leaked a bit.
Interesting, time will tell if people like it. I'm sure most tire dealers don't. Thanks for the demo.
I've never used a flat fixing product that worked this fast.
A very worth while product for the tool box. Great demonstration!
It's impressive stuff. Thanks.
Very interesting products oh, I never really liked the goop especially if you put them in a bike you could feel like going up and down and then it hardens in one spot. Just watched another guy but big gap foam inside of his tires and it worked fine
That stuff looks like concrete sealer. You can buy it at Lowes. Don't know what type of powder to add to it though. Some will add pepper to liquid starch. So maybe pepper would work. I'm always looking for a cheaper way.
Definitely looking forward to the rebuild
I have gone round and round (no pun) with a leaky rim on a tractor tire for months now...Thanks I will try it and do a Video... LOL.
This would work great. I've been using bead sealer(looks like black rubber cement) for the past couple of years on pesky bead leaks. It works good but requires fully breaking the bead off the rim. This stuff will save a lot of hassle.
I bought some. Tire Ject Tried on my lawn tractor front tire. My sidewall still leaks. Lol
Rotated tire lots . Even stuck tire in the lathe and rotaed slowly. Little Crack still leaking. Lol stuck a little more than called for. Shook the pouch well liquid came out blue.
I've had to take a few tires and tip them on their side so the fluid can run to the crack. To the point where sometimes I can see the whitish fluid weeping out, but they always seal right up.
Just used this stuff today, works great
I'm impressed with it.
When tires are that old and dry rot, I replace them. I pay 102.00 for 2 size 20X8X8, this way I now get better traction, and hopefully my mind at piece
Last year, I replaced my mower tires and the first time I used it the sidewall got punctured by thorns. The sidewall was so thin it could not be patched. Sealant like this is a good alternative to repeated tire failures, not from neglected rotten tires.
Thanks,I'll give it a try,anything has to be better than green slime garbage.It has excellent reviews.My tire is plugged,but still have to put air in every 3 days.
I've had great results with tire slime, you just have to add a TON, so it can move freely. However, I have never had anything work as well as this Tire-ject.
I never put any green slime in tire,I only ride on Sundays because of hunting season,well attleast until they make hunting on Sundays in Pa.,which they have been trying to do for years.I have a question,I have ITP 589's and I was told you can put 10 to 15 lbs in these tires,but it says right on tire 6 lbs max.Just wondering,thank you
I've never had trouble running upwards of 15-20psi in any non highway tire. Most will have a max bead setting pressure along with the max running. The max bead seating pressure is a good rule of thumb for the max psi the tire can actually handle. These should have a 25psi bead seat rating. The tires sponginess acts as suspension and a few PSI makes a huge difference. I have several vintage ATVs that have zero suspension and only rely on the tire deflection for suspension. Too high PSI and it will launch you off a bump vs adsorbing it.
Thanks I did look into farther for PSI rating and best to run low pressure like 3 or 4 lbs for best handling,more if your hauling heavy weight,I always ran 7lbs,and it beat the hell out of me and every nut and bolt that could come lose,came lose.They say it should handle well at 3lbs and better traction in mud and snow.Thanks for commenting,I'll keep watching your vids
Sounds like the tire weld of years ago, it was a "Get me home" type of fix.
Only time will tell if it keeps the tyres good, keep testing :-D
A few other people on UA-cam have been using it for a few years with great results.
The Dupont Kevlar in Tireject forms a permanent plug in punctures and small cracks.
Very interesting stuff. Personally I would replace the tires which are so old, but for something not so old, this might be great. My Honda ATC has one pretty bad tire on it, which is about 10 years old. I may give this stuff a try.
This will never be ridden hard or often. New tires would cost more than this will ever be worth.
sixtyfiveford understood. you can buy those OE style knobbies pretty cheap online.
Seems like a decent product. I haven't rode a quad i ages, i miss it
I really haven't either, but enjoy them. I like the go carts a little better. Feels more like racing a car.
Over a year ago I sealed a 20 year old hand truck tire with woodworking glue. The cheap home depo brand diluted 4 table spoons to 1 tablespoon of water. I put it in the tire and in more than a year it been runing great. No flats and even hauled washing machines on it. It's the poor mans fix.
Very interesting. Can't say I've heard this before.
This guy isn't scared to get his hands dirty..lol good video
Thanks for watching.
Looks like a great product, thanks for the review!
I'm impressed.
i actually repaired a small lawn mower tube with left over patches from my bike its only been 4 maybe 5 months but it slowly loses air but not as bad. the tires are in excellent condition but they dont have plugs for themi have only one tire on my mower that would need to be pumped up every 2 weeks and it took me almost 7 months to find the leak. i found it on the back side where the tread meets the side wall but other than that the tires were never replaced since it was bought in 2005
my tires still hold air good, but it would be nice to have that stuff in them anyway.
I fixed my wheel barrow tire by drilling holes and filling with can spray foam worked perfectly even after being outside through the winter
Cheers for the review Moe, I used to have that slime in the tyres on my Honda CBR600 worked really well, but like you said, you need loads and when you start you feel it sloshing around.
I'm impressed how quickly it sealed up. The liquid rubber seams to glue the hole closed from the inside.
For mower tires that have slow leaks I use the cheapest liquid hand soap that I can buy. I have even used it for a old 15 inch farm wagon. It has always worked for me. The odd time I may have to add air a second time. I have tires holding air from 5 or 6 years ago. I usually break the bead and pour some in. Usually half a bottle works. I put a full bottle in the wagon tire. At $2.99 a bottle I'm not to worried about putting extra in. Cheapest fix I've used. Way cheaper than slime.
I just bought my first quad last month, a Polaris 425. These low pressure tires always made me nervous. I worried about riding where I had just bush hogged and left sharp stubs sticking out of the ground. It has been almost a year now. Are you still satisfied with this product ?
I haven't put a drop of air in these tires since I added this stuff. I have used tire slime sealants for years on over 100 tires and they take a ton but also work.... Tire-Ject is completely different and I have never had a product work this good or fast. I left a little bit out in the air and it turns into a rubber with about the same firmness of an innertube.
Thanks for getting back to me. Now here is the way my luck will play out: I buy this stuff. I pretreat my tires so I am not broken down in the boonies and then I run over something that puts a 3/4 inch hole in my tire !!! And of course, this stuff isn't designed for that level of stupidity !!! Take care my friend !
would it work for the sidewall cracks
@DrydenTeele. It works fantastic for sidewall cracking leaks.
@@sixtyfiveford ok ill have to buy some and try it on my Honda foreman front tires
@DrydenTeele. I've had ok success with slime diluted with windshield washer fluid (25-50%). This allows it to flow around the tire better. However this Tire-Ject is better, it's just pricey.
yes im gonna try it too in my 70 147 cub the tires are the good year chevron treated ones still like new but the side walls are all dry rotten save 150.00 if it works as well as i have a 90 kawasaki bayou with tires that go flat we have to doing it cheap thats what paw paw would say
I've put slime in a lot of tires and currently have some dry rotted chevrons on my 73 Simplicity that don't leak(put slime in almost 10years ago) as well as my mid 80's Suzuki(put in 5years ago). It took a lot of slime to seal them up but I think this TireJect stuff would do it better with far less.
Thanks for the video. Have you tried it with putting a hole in the sidewalls? We would love to see a video of it please.
It will feel small sidewall punctures but not tears. For tears in the sidewall, I use this method ua-cam.com/video/JC_Kf7WSa1M/v-deo.html .
I just acquired a 1997 atv that has about half tread tires on it. I don't need real knobby tires or new tires, but the area i will be using the atv has a lot of cactus (a lot) so I am hoping that this will work with sealing up all the cactus thorns that gets in the tires. Lol
This stuff will do it. It's the best tire sealant I've ever used. It sloshes around and continues to seal any new punctures for 1-2 years. After this it turns from a liquid to a solid(consistency of a rubber inner tube) and no longer sloshes around. The thin layer continues to seal new minor punctures like cactus needles but won't seal new huge punctures after this time(all old punctures are permanently sealed).
Seriously awesome review.... Thanks! 😃👍
Thanks.
To fix bead leaks I imagine it’s best to remove the wheel and shake it while it’s on its side?
I put slime in it already .. it’s not holding air ..would I need to drain out the slime and use this product or can I add it to what ever is already in the tire . I only need it for this weekend lol then it’s new tires lol
great straight forward video! will this stuff still work if youve screwed up and put fix a flat in the tire before you found out about this stuff?
They say you have to clean out the any pre installed tire sealer.
Me and other people would be interested in watching you convert your ATV vehicle to all electric. 👍
This ATV wouldn't be the best candidate for that.
Haha
I have an old Yard Wagon and the tires are very weathered and have tubes. I really don't want to buy new tires as they are pretty expensive. Can I use a Sealant in the tires and then inflate the tube??
This is the best stuff I've ever used for dry rotted tires.
Just what I'm looking for, except there are no sellers on Amazon that sell it in Canada.
I always keep a can of fix a flat in all my vehicles, got me out of a bad situation a few times.
Yeah. Fix a flat... Tried and proven stuff. Project farm did a review on tire repair products like slime, fix a flat etc. Fix a flat really made a showing in that test. I think this stuff was also in the test
I may try this in the future, looks like it works pretty well.
I've never had a sealant product work as well as this.
The real test is time. :-)
Watched this video again amazing.
It still has to be the best tire sealant I've used.
@@sixtyfiveford
I plan on ordering some it’s in my cart. If I do a video on it, I’ll give you a shout out on the subject.
Tireject didn't work on my subaru... alot of farmers love it
I've never tried it in a car tire. I think they make a special one just for vehicles.
I wonder how well it would help fix the holes from the dog biting the tires
Great vid...to the point, informative, and honest.
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.
I recently bought a 2010 Camaro. they don't come with a spare tire. there is an air pump and there are 2 settings, one just air and the other a combination of air and some kind of white stuff in a bag. I suspect this is what you have. there is an expiration date of 2015 on mine so I will see about getting a new supply and see what the old stuff does to my 4 wheeler tires. they are 11 years old with plenty of wear left, like everyone else's that doesn't ride that much.
It would be interesting to see what auto manufacturers are choosing to use.
I just had a light bulb go on....If this stuff doesnt freeze, could it not be used to balance tires? I've known about tire balancing beads for some time, but wouldn't this work the same way as far as balancing goes and also provide preemptive leak protection?
Possibly. It does solidify after a few years just from the air in the tires. So if it was a car that sat a lot probably wouldn't be good but if it was a daily driver or probably self-balance pretty well.
@@sixtyfiveford I actually reached out to the company and they told me since it does dry up it would not work for that purpose. I think i'm going to try balancing fluid when I change my tires on my truck next.
I usually break them down and put tubes in them but I'd like this better than slime. I've got arthured hands and the slime is a pill to get in the tire. This would be the trick and THANKS!
It works a lot faster and better than slime.
What do you do if you already have slime in the tire?
You're not supposed to just add this stuff over it, but I have a few times now and it sealed it right up.
4 years holding strong? Got an 86 3 wheeler front tire leaking from an old plug. I was about to take off the tire and have someone plug it again but I think I might try this stuff. Just don’t know if I want to replug it myself first before putting in the tireject.
Still holding strong. I put air in them for the first time last fall since I did the video. They all just needed a top up (not flat)
I bought a 32 oz kit which has 4 bags marked 8 oz each. Per the directions, I used the included syringe to inject one bag into a large tire on a 90's garden tractor. The syringe is marked for 2 oz. maximum. Two full syringes (4oz. total) emptied the 8 oz. bag. Is the 8 oz. designation weight? On the bright side, 24 hours and holding, in a tire that wouldn't hold air for four hours. I'm impressed, but want to know if I did it right, or got lucky.
I'm pretty sure the bags are marked FL. OZ/Fluid ounce. But I came up a little shy on my measurement as well. I had a 20oz bag and did 2 tires at 8oz so I should have had 4oz left but only came up with around 2oz remaining. I think the syringe is off on it's measurement and puts more than you think in, I'll have to test it out It looks like they had the syringes custom made/printed for them and would assume the pouches are measured pretty precisely.
I double checked the syringe with water into a measuring cup; including the attached tubing, it pulls 4 0z exactly with two 2 oz line fills. It woud be pretty stupid to screw themselves with a good product by shorting the measures.
Anyway, thanks for the video; I'm going to use this a lot.
philod902 if you watch carefully the refill on the syringe allows the product to drain into the tire quite rapidly, if your fill the syringe slowly, especially on the second half your adding excessive product.
I measure the syringe and it is dead on. I came to the conclusion that the tube itself took a little and I probably lost a little in the tire. I tested it with water a few times and in the 6 seconds it takes me to fill the syringe I lost 2oz out the tube(would be in the tire).
That makes sense, and adds up pretty much to the 8 oz total I used . I pinch the tube off now with a spring clamp as I fill the syringe, unless I'm using the full 8 oz. in one tire. After doing 6 tires, I'm sold completely. The only failure was a tire that sat over the winter on a flat, and the bead was broken away. It wouldn't seal. When we took it off the rim, the tireject had mixed with water in the tire, and wouldn't hold or seal. Not the products fault.
never heard of it... sounds great
Still holding strong?
I have put 20 oz of slime in big Lawn mowers all four wheels as well as as ATV about twice as much in all four wheels they never have leaked in ten years.
I like Slime and have used gallons of it with good results on dozens of ATVs and tractors. It just takes a ton and doesn't work great on bead leads. This stuff in the video is the best tire sealant I have ever used, hands down. It takes a fraction of amount you need with slime and seals it right up. I let a puddle dry outside the tire and it creates a solid rubber sheet.
Don't hear any leaks but I hear them bad brakes😁👍👀
I just saw this..wonder if there is a way to thin silicon with a non-flammable product...
This stuff forms an actual rubber layer on the inside. Very similar to what thinned silicone would do.
I just ordered some too now.
I love this stuff. It takes so little to work compared to "slime" type products. 5 years later: I have not put a drop of air in 3 of the tires; they are all still fully inflated! 1 tire developed a small leak 4.5years later in the tread(probably new crack). I added a little more Tireject and it's fixed again.
