As a second option to the previously mentioned Tire Slimed tires, there are always generic slimed tires you can use.  Even though I advise going with the brand, I do acknowledge that there are good generic tire slimed tubs out there.  Some say no flats, “guaranteed,” and although I am a little skeptical, I do trust those as a good source for cheap slimed tires.

I personally use both in my tires.  The Tire Slime tubes are slightly more expensive, but they work just as effectively as the generic ones, and vice versa.  Bottom line, it comes down to who has been in the business the longest.  Tire Slime has revolutionary technology that can be trusted, while generic ones are working on copies of that technology.  Do they work?  Absolutely!  Are they as good?  That’s still in debate.  For now, I would rather get down the mountain in one piece, rather than be stranded and injured because my tire went flat going over technical terrain.
