Default What do you carry for tire sealant ?

I bought a can of fix a flat that was good for tire sensors, but not good for z rated tires. I thought I would just exchange for slime and the parts dude did not think it would work for a z rated tire either. Any help out there ?

Thanks. If GM is offering slime in a ZO6 kit it must be compatible with the z rated tires.

I've always been curious as to why this stuff isn't compatible with "Z" rated tires...

Do they think we drive our cars at Z rated speeds after a flat tire, on the way to a repair?

Or is a Z rated tire constructed in such a way that tire sealant won't work?

more of a liability (read thank a lawyer) because the vehicle can reach those speeds and those of us owning one are more likely to travel those speeds versus a person owning i prius.

AAA card. Sealant will make the tire junk. Just plan on replacing the tire if you use it.

Tire plugger works well though your first plug is a learning exercise. After that its much better. I have a much better pump.
