What does "sealant" mean on my new tires?

I got my haulers and mohawks in yesterday, and had them pre-mounted. There's a sticker on all the wheels saying "Sealant". I just wanted to know if that meant I had that slime in my tires, since I definitely did not order it. Anyone know?

Most likely, it means they did put a sealant of some sort in the tires while mounting. If you didn't request it, you probably lucked out and got some free. Some places do it inclusively, some make you pay.

Well, after hearing all the stories of unbalanced tires due to slime, I really don't want want that. I did ride today and could tell anything wrong at all. There was a green splatter on the rims when I got them, but I don't know exactly what it was. I guess everything's all good.

Some place's put a sealant around the bead of the tire too so maybe that's what they are talking about.

rmatv is awesome at mounting. anytime ive gotten premounted stuff from them, it was clocked perfectly. no bends on .125's, ect.

they use the green slime for extra $$, they just put on for free with you apparently.[/b]

Yeah rockymountain is awesome. I forgot to request they time the paddles, but I checked it and sure enough, it was perfect. Great company, and within a month I'm almost a platinum buyer. Great deals there and I always have very smooth transactions with them.
