Steelman Tire Rim Bead Sealer for Tubeless Tires, Stops Leaks Between Tire Bead and Wheel, Applicator Brush Included - 1 Quart

Easy to use. Works great.

I originally used this bead sealer on a couple of lawn tractor tires. These low pressure tires have a tendency to leak, and many people put tire tubes in them to get around that problem, but I hate tubes so I was hoping this would do the trick. I am happy to say It worked great. I used it to seal both the rim bead as well as new valve stems. I keep the tires at 20psi and about a month after installing them (including temp swings up to 85F days and down to 40F nights) they're still holding pressure, no leaks.Seconds use; My truck had 1 tire that had a slow leak that required reinflation every couple of weeks.. found the source of the leak by dipping the tire/wheel in a large container of water and looked for bubbles. It was leaking air from the bead right under a cheap hammer-on wheel weight that had a rusted clip. I broke the bead of the tire, removed and cleaned the rim and weight, applied the bead sealer along the entire rim, re-set the bead and pumped it back up. It has been about 3 weeks now, I have checked the pressure multiple times and hasn't leaked at all. I am very happy with this product, and would highly recommend it to anyone who has a bead sealing issue or wants to avoid them in the future when installing a new tire.NOTE: For anyone who doesn't know exactly what this product is (I didn't when I first saw it); It is NOT a tire/rim lubricant (you will still need to use tire lube or soapy water to install the tire on the rim). Think of it like rtv gasket maker for your tires, as it essentially does the same thing, it compensates for imperfections in the mating surfaces by filling in any gaps. This stuff is like an ultra fast-dry rubber cement, and when I say fast I mean really fast dry. You need to work quick with it when applying as it will dry solid in under a minute, so "paint" it on and set your bead right away or you may not get a good seal. Good luck and happy bead sealing!

I always cover inside and outside of repair after using this. Works awesome and most time cannot tell there is a plug patch on outside even when using 1/2" plug.

The Steelman Tire Rim Bead Sealer is an excellent product for sealing leaks between the tire bead and wheel, especially for tubeless tires. I used it on my tires and was impressed by how well it stopped the leaks, keeping my tires properly inflated.Pros:✅ Works Great – It effectively sealed the small leaks around the tire bead, saving me from having to replace or repair the tires.✅ Easy Application – The included applicator brush made it simple to apply the sealer precisely where needed.✅ Long-Lasting Results – I’ve had great results with this product, and it has kept my tires sealed for several weeks without any issues.✅ Quality Formula – The formula is thick enough to create a strong seal without making a mess.Cons:🔸 Smaller Quantities Would Be Better – The 1-quart size is great, but I wish it was available in smaller quantities for individual use cases, as I don’t need that much for occasional tire repairs.Overall, the Steelman Tire Rim Bead Sealer is a must-have if you’re dealing with tubeless tire leaks. It does exactly what it promises and works exceptionally well. Highly recommend!

Great product. Used to seal up 4 Toyota Corolla rims that were leaking at the beads from the usual corrosion that is so common on alloy and plated alloy rims. Popped the beads off, held them down, took some nylon impregnated abrasive pads and scrubbed the rims a bit. Once the beads were cleaned with glass cleaner, allowed to dry, I slathered them up with this bead sealer, applying generously...too much so. The brush is a few inches long, so you can get deep in the rim. Started filling the tire with air, and when the bead popped back on, there was black goo in places where there shouldn't be (wall, ceiling, face!) ... my fault, too much bead sealer, lesson learned.Check all 8 beads after a few days with the foamy glass cleaner, and no bubbles! No leaks at the beads. Perfect stuff.I have also used this on riding tractor tires on occasion, and it works fine there too.

This is a better option I think than using a tube for a stubborn bead leak. This stuff did do the job, but it took me 3 tries. The product or cockpit error? I guess we'll never know, but I'd recommend trying it, and would buy it again.

The cans as received were very dented. I was able to open the can and verify the contents and they seem to be OK. Appears to be the stuff I'm looking for. Thick, gooey and able to make a seal with old wheels and tires(tractor restoration). Unfortunately this product was delivered to the address I wasn't expecting(I have two-one in Texas and one in Missouri) but that might have been my fault. I thought I checked the Missouri address but it was delivered to Texas. I needed it in Missouri where I have a small investment in an autoshop. Hopefully the next time I head north the airline will let me take it with me.

My compact tractor's tire had a lead and needed to be aired each day. If I use the front loader, then it may need two or more pumping each hour of use. I replaced the tire, only to find out that the problem was at the rim side. Instead of replacing the rim, I decided to use the steelman... I received the product on time, lifted and separated the tire, then cleaned the rim and bead with a scotch pad. Then used paint thiner to wipe off the duct and oil. I applied a generous amount of the sealer, aired the tire, then checked for leaks. At first, the tire was leaking at the rim. I inflated the tire more then used my 2lb hammer pounding the tire all around. After one hour no leads. I've used the tractor with the front loader for about 12 hours since the sealer was applied and I didn't have to get the compressor at all. This is really a good product.
