not everything is good, not everything is bad

I was really hoping Slime would help me with my Craftsman Tractor tubeless tires. These rear tires in particular are very expensive to replace and don't last more than a few short years. The originals lasted about 12 years, then I replaced them with seemingly similar ones, but after four years one stopped holding air and the other started leaking air as well after a couple of weeks. So I bought the slime, removed the shredder valves, pumped the slime into the tires. Admittedly I added more than recommended as leaky tires are quite large. I have added it to all four tires as as far as I can tell it is a 'preventive' additive and will help prevent tire leaks which are not currently a problem. After adding slime to all four and adjusting the air pressure, I started the tractor and aggressively mowed and packed my 3/4 acre hilly property. They seemed to hold up when I tested them a few days later. It used to be that one bath would fail completely in one day and the other would lose pressure after about a week. The smaller front ones were still pretty good, but one of them also went flat for about a month. Two weeks later, the worst offender was crushed. The rest is holding up well but I was so disappointed that the worst was still leaking. I couldn't find the leak, so maybe it's leaking on the sidewall? I noticed noticeable small cracks on the sidewall. even if the tire is less than five years old. So for me it's Mixed Evil. I have increased the pressure on the tires and look forward to checking again in a few days.
