Exclamation Flat Stopper

I saw this on the ISF thread and thought i would post one here also. We all know that our x50's have major issue's with the cold weather and thought if anyone have more info on these products. Will this actually work and help prevent leakage in anyway? Will it actually help prevent all the stuff they say the product will do, providing longer lifespan of our tires?? Any suggestions where we can get this product for a cheaper price? Just a suggestion to help our community

they're mostly for people that store their cars in the winter. if it's your daily driver, you'll probably replace your tires before the rubber "go bad" anyways

Phil your only going to get flat spots if you let the car sit for 2-3 months. Even if you drive it every 2 weeks you won't get flat spots.
