Fix a Flat question?
One of my kumho's blew out on me today (bubble popped open) so i decided rims aren't worth the hassle anymore. So i decided to put my stock rims on. One of my stock tires was REAL low on air so i decided to put fix a flat in there. It didn't fill the tire all the way up. can you put air in a tire after you used fix a flat? thanks in advance

OIIII! i wouldn't have done that..once you put fix a flat in the tire..it's a BITCH to accually fix it cuz they gotta pull the tire off the rim, clean out the inside, patch it, and then put it back on the rim, then fill it up again..just becareful when they go to take the tire off the rim, they may scratch it so make sure you SHOW them it's NICE and spotless BEFORE they start

Fix-a-Flat sucks! Use it for emergency only. Like if you are stuck on side of the road with a flat tire, and your spare is flat. In that situation put the spare on and fill the spare with the FaF. Don't ever put a real wheel through that torture. That stuff cakes onto the inside of your rims, and is almost impossible to clean off. I've had it buildup and cause a leak around the outside of the rim before. I had to take a couple hours and literally scrape the crap off with a putty knife. That's when I decided not to use it ever again...
[edit]Oh yeah, read the bottle (RTFM!!
). I think it says you can add air to it. But you have to drive around a few miles right after you put the stuff in, before you are to add air. (At least that's what the instructions were the last time I used it.)
