Due to unfortunate turn of events I was forced to use this stuff. I hate it, due to the mess it creates inside the tire. But had no choice this time, so it is what it is. The tire is like brand new thread-wise, but hole is too close to the sidewall, so after plugging it still leaks air, due to all the flex.
Instructions on the can clearly call for using this product only for 3 days or 100 miles. When I put it in - I expected some vibrations, similar to an unbalanced tire. But... None happened yet (had it up to 85mph so far), and my tire stays inflated. It has been a week and nearly 500 miles...
Question - anyone used it long term? Any reason (aside from mess) to not leave it in the tire? Without it the tire is a goner, but it's nearly brand new, so I'd hate to waste good tire thread like that. So was wondering how much use I can get out of this tire, while Fix-a-Flat keeps it together from the inside. I'll obviously keep going with it, but was wondering if anyone used it long-term and it somehow caused other issues.
Also, this vehicle does not have TPMS, so no sensor damage to worry about.
