Slime "smart spare" is compatible with tpms

$20. Version with pump but requires valve stem insert removal

$50. Pump that atomizes the slime and does not require anything but hooking up

It's A great gift for car people here.

shop i got my conti DWS installed at said they think fix-a-flat is better because slime 'destroys the insides of the tire'

i have the slime pump but no material, so i may try it anyways

Slime has a $ guarantee it will not affect the tire. It's water based so the tire shop is probably wrong

doesnt fix a flat mess with the sensors in our tires? i thought it wasnt recomended

So, I got the Slime Smart Spair in the trunk just in case.

& the case happened last night.

I followed the instruction...
But it seemed the sealant couldnt seal the puncture.

My thought was that the sealant would freeze & seal up the puncture as soon as it contacts with air, but it wasn't the case for me.

Hrm...pretty disappointed.
