Slime didn't work for me.

I have had good luck with green slime...

It has to be applied properly, however, since the leak may be from
around
the "rim" and just squirting the stuff in may not coat all the leaks
fromthe
inside...

Personally, I jack up the tire off the ground, put in the slime, and
then
take a while to spin the tire as much as I can , using the motor for
the
back tires and hand spinning the front. The idea is to "splash
lubricate"
the inside completely..... AND use enough green slime to do the
job....

Just wanted to share my technique.
