i've seen commercial and stuff on those fix-a-flat cans that seal and inflate ur punctured tires. Does those things actually work? If so does it still work when u still have a freaking nail or metal pieces stuck in ur tire?

reason i'm asking is i'm thinking about saving a few pounds by taking out my spare/jack/wrench and replacing them with a can of fix-a-flat. But again, if it only works when you have a puncture(meaning nothing physically still in the tire) then i'll rather keep my spare.

 

Oh, I would keep the spare and jack/ tools.

Fix-a-flat works, but know that it leaves one hell of a mess around your rim and tire after use.

 

I would bring it only if I were traveling to BUM FUCK EGYPT (Arizona Desert, Nevada Desert etc...) in case of a leak, otherwise, you have a jack, spare and shops by the millions in America...............

 

yea it works, but don't count on it to last forever

 

wut? u saying that it still works even if i still have metal pieces/nails in my tire?

 

once you use it most shops wont pull a plug through the tire or try and patch it at all

 

as mentioned before, use it as a last resort, unless you are planning on replacing the tire.

 

My trunk consists of: 1 disposable fire extingusher, 2 pillows to keep the empty spare tyre well from colapsing, and 1 can of fix a flat.

I've been running with out a spare and spare tools for 1.5 years now. Never have I gotten a flat, Tnx God, but always kept a can of Fix-A-Flat around just in case.

I had flats left and right with my older car, can went through cans every week, cheap tyres what do u expect. But with 3 nails in the tyres those cans WORK. But it is NOT a permanant fix, it can get u around for a couple of days till u plug what is leaking.

yeah it works like they say but what it does'nt tell you is that shit messes up your tire inside.

 

It leaves green glue and messes your tire and rim.

 

I used to carry it...

Then I got a flat.


It didnt work.

 

If you're goal is to save a few pounds, don't waste your time. The amount of weight reduction is minimal compared to the hassles you'll have when you take the FAF-filled tired to be repaired.
