If you are one of the self storage facility owners who uses a golf cart to get around, you may occasionally have to deal with flat tires, or tires with a slow leak. For years a consumer product, “Slime”, has been available.

The question for us has been: Can we use Slime in our golf carts, or is it only for use in bicycle tires?

Our cursory research indicates that we can use Slime and that it can work very well.

From one of the forums we found on Slime:

I’ve used this in Rhino tires and currently use it in my golf cart and lawn mower tires. It will HELP prevent air leaks from SMALL punctures. My golf is used to pull a small bushhog and I’m constantly running over large thorns from thron trees. Haven’t had a flat since using Slime in the tires: put in about a quarter of one of the gallon jugs. Also I had a lawn mower dry rotted tires. I filled them completely with Slime. You could see it seaping out the sidewalls for a short while. Patched them right up. I will ad that this is the messing stuff you will ever deal with if changing a tire that has Slime in it. It never dries up and ‘somewhat’ coats the inner wall of the tire but not completely.
