[AT] Osage vs. Firestone

[charlie hill]

Ken, I believe that Slime actually makes their own brand of tubes now.
I've seen them but don't know the details.  I wonder if it has slime built
in somehow.  I've seen them in Tractor Supply and another local
farm supply store.

As a user of Slime in bike tires,  I can attest to it's ability to reseal
after puncture on tubes. We get what they call "goat heads" that mow
through tubes on bikes. This stuff works well for sealing the myriad leaks
that come from those. Not sure on tractor tires but suspect if it works
half as well on them as it does on bikes, it'll treat you well.
