I've never used slime in any of my cars or trucks, but I swear by the  
stuff in my tractors and bicycles! I live in the Sierras and like  
trail riding, so I pick up quite a few thorns in my tires, and all I  
have to do is pull them out, you see a quick dot of green come  
through the hole, and it's sealed, just that fast. At home I have  
issues with nails and occasional glass (the people I got the place  
from used to bury trash in the '80s) same thing, spot of green and  
it's sealed. But those are both semi low speed applications (I rarely  
get over 35 on my bike, that's with a good tailwind, downhill,  
probably never hit 20 on the tractors.)
