Hi Dawgs,

As an avid mountain biker, I use sealant in the tires to mitigate the many flats and other issues a MTB tire may face.

This brings me to the question, why do motorbikes with tubeless tires not make use of tire slime (sealant)? The huge hack of taking off a tubeless tire surely warrants any effort to NOT have to take the tire off in the event of any punctures (or even having to plug it for that matter)? Even if you do plug the tire, I would feel a lot safer using a plug WITH sealant as an extra precaution?

What are your thoughts/reasons?
