Tire bead sealer-what do you use.

[Guest]

I got some tires/wheels from Ronnies mailorder and they leak at the bead after 1 ride. I have a bead breaker and it was real easy to break the bead so I dont trust their tire installs (it was not easy with the stock tires) I know you can use soapy water but I was wondering if anyone knew where I can get that black goop they use at the tire shops or if anyone had any suggestions.

I'd like to know to, my new Bear Claws leak around the entire bead on one side.

green slime worked for me

I know none of you guys like the idea, but seating the bead with ether has been 100% successful for me. I'm not positive, but I think the heat associated with it helps seat the bead more permanently. I don't know anybody that's ever lost a tire that was seated with ether.
