It just dawned on me today. What if i get a leak in my tires that have liquid (green anti freeze and water) ballast in them. Will slime work in the liquid???, Can I plug the tire, ???
Slime in ballasted tires

I wouldn't use slime in the first place, makes a hell of a mess for the guy who has to pull it off the rim. Anyway the site claims it's water soluble so no it would likely not set. I like string plugs. They're a royal pain to install but they seal and hold real well.
Actually on four wheeler tires when we get tiny little thorn holes our fix s to put a half cup of pure antifreeze in them. it will stop pinholes from leaking, of course ATV tires are extremely low pressure eg. 4-5PSI.
I had a large 3/8" diam steel pin stuck through a lug on a ballasted rear tire for years with no leaks that decided to start leaking last month.
My tires are filled with Rimguard [beet juice].
I bought a HD string plug kit and following the instructions was able to completely seal the leak.
JBefore plugging,jack up the leaking tire to get the tractor weight off it .
