Terry,

Any time I have a non-water filled off road tire develop a leak, I'll pump in about a 1/2 pint of tire sealer. No more leaks. I've had punctures up to 1/4" to seal as soon as the object is pulled out.

In SW Ohio it is available at Quality Farm and Fleet and at TSC. I buy it in gallon jugs and keep on the shelf.

I had a tractor for about 20 years that I bush hogged the woods with that had some red thorn trees that had died out about 15 years before. The thorns didn't seem to rot and I was quite successful in finding them all with the tractor's tires. I had nearly worn out the beads on the tires taking them off to patch the tubes. After pumping in the tire sealer (the colloquial language calls it "white snot"), I never had another flat.
