    Anyone ever use Slime in their tires? Supposedly prevents flats, increases stability, possibly adds a few MPG. Just wondering....

    In my bike tires, yes. In my car tires, no. Never.

    I have used it on my rider lawn mower tires. And it works very well. But, yes, I agree with the others and should not be used with Tire Pressure Monitoring systems
