Three holes plugged. 4 more to go. Amazon tire prices rock.

To quote my old man….."stay on the damn road!!"

It's a lot easier to do now that I pay for the tires.

We've been dealing with the same. We mow about 10 acres with a tractor and zero turn and seems like we plug tires on the zero turn after every mow. Looked up those Michelin X-Tweel tires and the price makes sense but still a sticker shock. What's everyone's opinion on slime?

Recently replaced the "Slimed" tires on our `16 Ranger, the tire guy said "look at this"...on one tire, along with 7-8 plugs, there were another 10-12 thorns of various sizes/lengths....and the tire had been holding air just fine.

Same problem on the little front tires on my JD ZT. Finally broke down and bought the No Flat replacements off Amazon. Those are the bomb.

Mesquite thorns haven't been a problem since I switched to this several years ago:

UltraSeal Bulletproof Grade

It seals punctures up to 1/2" in diameter and does it quickly and consistently.

Not cheap at $85/gallon, but cheaper than more expensive tires and/or the time involved in repeatedly fixing flats.
