Does anyone use this so they won't have flats. I know you shouldn't use it in tubeless tires cause it'll make a mess of your wheel but on my Italia it'll all be contained in a tube seems like a good idea to insure against flats. Bicycle tubes sometimes come with the stuff out of the package, the expensive ines at least.

From the website:
How Does SLiME Work ?
After removing the valve core, SLiME is squeezed into the tire through the valve stem. Once installed into the tire, SLIME remains liquid, evenly distributed by centrifugal force. When a puncture occurs, the escaping air forces SLIME with Fibro•Seal technology in the puncture wound to seal the puncture.

My dealer recommends it for tubeless tires.
