filling front tires

[X-man]

Also from Slime Tire Repair site:

Will Slime Damage my wheel?
No, Slime Tire Sealant contains rust and corrosion inhibitors that protect against damage for 2 years. We recommend after 2 years you remove the sealant and replace it with new Slime sealant to ensure optimal rust and corrosion protection.

Like I said. Slime won't damage your rim. You just have to remember to remove the sealant in 2 years.

That's right x-man and only due to after 2 years it may lose it sealing effectiveness as it dries out into fibers and not due to being corrosive. Most times it will last longer but that is their reccommended interval.

Foam I'm not a big fan of because the ride feels much rougher when riding on bumps/rocks or rough cement.
Rim Guard isn't really a sealant. It's a liquid that protects your rims from rust, obviously expanding its life.
Slime for the most part is the way to go since its main purpose is to seal the tire. It is also not like foam because you still have air in the tire.

For those people who think Slime screws up your rims, it doesn't. The only reason why your rims would be screwed up is because you didn't remove the sealant after two years like the bottle suggests. They put stuff in the sealant so it doesn't make your rim corrode.
