Flat tire... :(
Mileage: 1949
Just as I was heading out on a bike ride, I noticed the rear left tire is almost flat! Greeeeeeeeeeeat.
Busted out my emergency kit, and the "fix a flat" can. This can pumps sealant into the tire so you can drive the car.
The dealership/tire shop will have to spend some time vacuuming and cleaning the sealant out, but that's what they get paid for.
Off to the dealership, $30 to fix.
I highly recommend having one of those fix a flat cans with you in the trunk!
Cheers!

ah ok. i would use the spare but at my ride height, it wouldn't work well. also, there are little arrows on your side skirts if you look close where it tells you to jack for future references. that fixaflat stuff can be a life saver sometime. as long as the place cleaned up the tire for you so it wont throw off the balance of your tires.

Fix a flat
Yes fix a flat will more often than not distort a tpms sensor. I would say on average we get 3 to 5 tires a week in which people have put fix a flat in, the average tpms sensor gets destroyed from this stuff leading to the dreaded yellow light. We love it because we charge $125.00 to replace the sensor and reprogram the tpms computer.

I wonder which can they used, I used the non-flammable type (not the green stuff).
Thank you for the info, I will go the spare tire route next time.
