My "new" used bike is four years old. It is all original. Including the tires and tubes. I've recked the budget with a rack, a few lights, a helmet and other safety related stuff. The tires are in great shape, the bike was ridden little. I am concerned about flats on my way to work at my new job. (Trial thingy....last thing I need is to be late!!)

I'm not able to replace tubes with "puncture resistant" ones right now, need a paycheck or two.

I do have a couple bottles of Slime, the liquid pour in the stem type. Should I use this as a bit of insurance for a bit? If so, how much would you guess that I put in a 700X35 tire? I know it's a stop-gap measure to tire/tube upgrades but, what I am after right now is a functional solution.

Or, should I just ride.

Thank you.
