Which Slime kit to get for tire repair?

joepa150 · 01-03-2014, 11:06 AM

I just replaced my rear runflats with non runflats. I have roadside through my insurance company but I want also a way to fix the flat if needed.

I heard that all I need is one of the slime kits but there are several ones.

Which one is the kit to get?

I assume they are all TPMS safe??

Thanks.

I got the compressed bottle type. I also carry a tire inflator (small capacity 12V) on the side.

No, most slime kits are not TPMS safe. The Slim will get all over the sensor and you will have countless misreadings. You can always carry a can of compressed air/nitrogen.

I got the below, decent small little package. States its sensor safe, either way it can inflate a tire with/without slime.
