Re: Fix-A-Flat Question (Flat tire repair)

ok....i work for a tire store.....and from my point of view.....fix a flat is the worst possible thing to use....especially if you have tire pressure monitoring systems because it can gum up the sensor and those usually run between 150$- 600$ depending on what make and model......if your tires have a slow enough leak that fix a flat would cure....its best to just go to the tire store and pay the 23$ to have it fixed.....that way if it continues to leak then its their problem....and if its really bad then put on the spare and then take it to get fixed.....i cant tell you how many tires ive repaired that have had fix a flat in them.....it actually makes it more difficult to fix.....and the slime is a major NO unless you use it in your 4 wheeler or hard core off roader....it will throw off your ballance even just a lil......well i guess im just tryin to say.....leave it to the professionals
