Leaking Slick
I have one ET drag that is leaking air. Size is a 28/9/15. Does anybody use a tire sealant such as the green slime stuff? I have the tubes, but am currently not using them. Didn't know if anybody has tried it or not. Tires were just bought this summer, may have 15 passes on them.

Re: Leaking Slick
Mine had a pinhole in the sidewall about an inch below the tread, tried fix-a-flat and it wouldnt seal it. Although it did depend on how I parked it whether it would leak or not. I ended up taking them off early because I got tired of messing with it.

Re: Leaking Slick
You can try wiping the inside(dismount) with dish detergent and let it dry, Otherwise tube them.

Re: Leaking Slick
Fix a flat also works very good and I think better...Spray it inside the slick wipe it around with a rag or a sponge and mount and fill with air..Works well but kind of messy to work with
