I have a Toro MX4200 which has slow leaks on both front and rear tyres on the left side. (I suspect from less observant family members driving a little too close to barbed wire fences)
Is there a sealant that's worth putting in these tyres or should I really just be replacing the inner tubes?
So many sealants, so many differing prices and so many claims… not sure if any of it is true or applicable for me.
Just checked, the front have tubes but the rear wheels do not. I have been seeing slime advertised, thanks for the recommendation
Oh i have bindis too much never damaged the tyres just spikes my foot lol
Try a product called Slime, has been around for years works quite well
If the tyres are tubeless you should plug them. Easy to do. Get tyre repair kit with the vulcanised plugs and watch some YT videos.
If the tyres have tubes, just replace the tubes.
I'll try the slime stuff then folks.
Ebay has 20% off Sparesbox store with plus… delivered cost me $21.56, which feels okay being in the middle of nowhere.
For the tubeless tyres try this type of repair plug. Probs more suitable for a slower speed non highway tyre,anyway.

If the tubes are a few years old I'd just replace the munted ones. I had to get smaller tyre levers to repair small diameter tyres. Easier on the tyres..

Thanks. I'll see if I can actually find the leak/s and have a crack.
Pump up the offending tyres and run a slow hose on them. You should see the leak via bubbling/spitting at the wound.
Circle it with crayon so you find it when you go to repair. If it's a side wall tear etc, you might be out of luck, but otherwise good luck .
My compressor is right next to where the mower parks anyways, worst outcome is I just keep topping them up forever.
Do they have inner tubes? My ride on tyres are tubeless.
I use plugs for bigger holes and add slime tyre sealant every couple of years to all 4. Bindii are the enemy of my tyres and have created hundreds of slow leaks over the years. My front tyres lasted about 8 years (not a zero turn) before needing replacement but I'm still on the original rears after 13 years.
