In my experience, TireSlime will corrode the heck out of an aluminum wheel. Has anyone else heard or seen the tire slime ruing a wheel before and should it be okay with a tube? I need to use the truck Friday on a 300 mile round trip, so I would like to fix it tomorrow and it's probably too short of notice for a garage to fix it because I'm at school now, and they're probably going to be expensive. I've heard that it actually bonds the tire to the rim and could ruin the rim, but I figure with a tube I wouldn't have that problem. I'm considering just using some of that green tire slime in it. It held air for 4 or 5 days and now it's leaking again. I'm not all that worried about fixing it permanently because I'm going to replace it in the next few months anyway. A few days later, he tells me he can't find the leak, and the tire seems to hold air so he gave it back and told me to let him know how it works. I took it to the guy right down the road from me who I have do my tires when I don't want to mess with them, plus he can balance them too. I tried patching it, woke up the next morning and it was flat. Turns out the tire has a tube in it though. I ran over a nail last week with my truck and left it in until I got home because I figured a flat tire at home is better than a flat where I was.
