About half way thru the Main... 8)

If it's just a Bead leak...pull the tires,  wire wheel the rim edge, and clean the bead of the tire well..

If it's more than a bead leak, tube it or replace the tire...

well ive had good luck with the slime my tire has been holding for a year now without havin to add any air
but i suppose it depends what class your runnin
as for the tube they run about 5 to 8 bucks and yes they work with any tire as long its the right size tube for the tire

the prob with the tube is the tire is gettin old and wealtherchecked which is why it leaks so if i took the tire ff to put a tube do you think i would completly ruin it im tryin to do this as cheap as possible

Hmmmmm... we're talking the difference in spending $5 - $8 on a tube, or using tire slime on a  tire that won't hold air because it's weather checked, on go fast mower here??? Which is a sign the tire is rotted... When you can put a new tire on there for less than $20.

Do you wear a helmet?
