Tire Sealant & Inflator Kit

[joandjo]

I have minor tire pressure leak. I put 32psi. In two weeks, one goes to 28psi while the rest remain at 32psi. I tried to find the leak with spraying soapy water - no luck.

So I'm planning to use the inflator kit (with sealant). Will it be bad idea? Any negative side such as sticky rim or clogging valve stem...

yes it is not recommended to use fix a flat for extended periods of time. I used to work in a tire shop when I got out of school and we had a girl come in to get ehr tires balanced. I was the one doing it and they would never balance out right. I finally asked her if she had put anything in the tires because you could hear liquid in them. She said her dad had told her to put fix a flat in all of her tires so they wouldnt go flat. The only problem is that is is all liquid and will cause very bad vibrations.

You should take it to a tire shop and have them take a look at it and see if they can find the problem. It could be a bad valve stem, or even a bad wheel.

Cyorke!!!!!
That is a perfect explanation!
I have always heard that the repaimen simply do not want to get their hands dirty.

Some tire sealants are highly flammable also so the poor SOB sucking on a cig while removing the tire from the rim-whoosh! (Or anything which could ignite it)
