thorns in tires
I keep getting flats from star thistle near an old runway I go on. I filled my tubes with slime and it works great. has anyone else out there used
this and had good results?
I was worried about wobbles at high speeds , I have only gone up tp 30 mph since the slime.

Slime shouldn't create wobbles, as it's used in tires that go a loy faster than our buggies. Well, mine, anyway. I keep blasting over all these weeds
and am just waiting for that day when I suddenly pick up a zillion goat heads in all three tires. I should buy some slime today while I'm thinking
about it, as I'd hate to blow a good day due to flats.

I have been using slime for years. It works GREAT!! one time (at band camp) I sat for 20 minutes pulling thorns out of my tire after running over a
tumbleweed (which are pretty thorny). Filled up with slime, followed by air and she's good to go! I never go out without it anymore....

Ahah very cool... I was looking at that stuff in Walmart a few weeks back and thought it would be a good idea, and sounds like since you guys are
already using it then it is!
