Check your Tire Sealant
While you won’t be your tire guys favorite customer when you drop by to get it fixed properly, the tire sealant option (after having a spare and/or plug kit), tire sealant, if you have one that isn’t too old to use, can be your last resort to get back on your way.
So…. when I looked in the frunk to check the date on mine I found that the car didn’t have one. The “jan-u-wine” Porsche one runs around $100. But I found the the OEM one, TERRA-S Tire Sealant 9A701261902 / T16001, costs 1/3.  Merry X-mas fellow Pelicans.

I was forced to use the Porsche Fix-A-Flat sauce last year in my 2015 911. Even though it was six years old it worked fine & I got home. I had the tire dis-mounted so I could clean everything properly and have the tire repaired. The white sauce came off in sheets, kind of like rubberized latex paint. Clean up wasn't bad. The TPMS gizmo was unharmed.
I used the green slime once before almost 50 years ago & it was a nightmare to get out of the tire & rim. |
