Can not be swapped with this? Saves weight & space and according to manufacturer is safe with TPMS sensors as well as run-flat tires.

Some BMW's have that.. like the e60 ///M5

 

go for it

 

so it's liquid like the fix-a-flats? some tire shops are picky and might not fix your tire when they know it's filled w/ those. it's quite messy.

 

I still dont know about putting glue in the sensor. And it if the sidewall or rim was damaged it wont do the job. I like a real spare tire.

 

i would also stick with the spare.

 

I wouldnt wanna be stuck on some dark road in the middle of nowhere, beacase i didnt have a spare, and the fix-a-flat didnt work

 

I think this is a much better system than fix-a-flat. It is simply a compressor (and those rarely fail) and the sealant is injected in the air stream. With fix-a-flat there was always the concern whether there was enough air in the can to totally pump up the tire. I think in most cases it pumped enough to be marginally usable to limp home.

I understand the reservations. But a donut is a poor excuse for a tire, especially if you are a long way from help. Not saying that's a likely scenario.
Most soft tires seem to happen close to home, and of course when you are in a hurry. But saving the weight would be nice too.

I will have to read up up on it more. Especially if there are problems permanently repairing a tire because of the goo.

 

I would rather just roll w/no spare and no fix-a-flat. Just call roadside assistance

 

Not a bad idea.. the plastic ID card weighs almost nothing at all!

 

im sure RSA can plug your tires, but if they have to flat bed it, does
the G's lip clear the bed when it's being loaded?
