Re: OT Spare Tire in a Spray Can Any Good?
I'd concur with others. Take it somewhere and have the tire fixed.
Otherwise you'll be fooling with this forever. I've never liked the
idea of that goo inside my tire; I'd consider the can only for
absolute emergencies. Even if it is $25 (should be less), so what?
Let's get real. Not much more than a tank of gas ... PLUS I notice
that you say it is COLD outside : - )

Why? "Because Flats Suck."
How can you argue with that?

Re: OT Spare Tire in a Spray Can Any Good?
In Albuquerque, Discount Tire Co. fixes flats for free. Sure it's just a
gimmick to get new customers (or treat old customers right) but so what?
I've heard stories (maybe urban legends) that the gas those cans put in the
tire is flammable and there have been accidents when the flat fixer guy
starts to remove the tire from the wheel.
I only use the stuff in my wheelbarrow and rototiller tires.

that will work great against flats, but you might look into how well
it might perform at highway speeds in 20-30 degree f temperature. I
believe the "slime" is mostly for bicycles, for which hardly ever
exceed 30mpg.
I propose the slime will either freeze in one spot or not be thin
enough to coat the inside of the tire evenly at 50 mph that could
mean a very very unbalanced tire.

that will work great against flats, but you might look into how well
it might perform at highway speeds in 20-30 degree f temperature. I
believe the "slime" is mostly for bicycles, for which hardly ever
exceed 30mpg.
I propose the slime will either freeze in one spot or not be thin
enough to coat the inside of the tire evenly at 50 mph that could
mean a very very unbalanced tire.
