@jermaineGT i guarantee that slime will never rust or corrode your tires. rust and corrosion inhibitors are the most costly ingredient in the product. i cant say the same for other aerosol products but that is why Slime works the best.

fix a flat or tire sealant doesnt do anything but corrode the inside of the wheel and annoy the person that has to demount that tire lol.

Wngnutt, I am sorry if this stuff is a PITA for you guys at Discount Tire. I can assure you being stuck on the side of the highway is a PITA too. I have Slime in my emergency kit because not all cars HAVE spare tires. Like modern Lamborghini's and Ferrari's. The tire and wheel size is staggered so you'd actually need two spares anyway.

If this get me home safely, or to a tire store safely where a proper repair can be done, then I am happy with it.

 nice rimz

dont waste your time fixing a junk tire like that. if you have a flat just take it to your local Discount Tire store and they will fix it for free using a plug and patch. rope plugs tend to leak again down the road and the fix-a-flat liquid junk does nothing to fix the flat and just throws your wheel and tire out of balance and make a mess. just throw your spare on and let them fix it for good for you for FREE.

Forget this crap...get the aerosol can version of Fix-A Flat. It goes by many names but you do not need to remove the tire and it will in most cases get you to a safe place to have the tire fixed or replaced.
