thats not really a cheep option...... if you get a flat, you have to spray that stupid stuff in your tire, it destroyes the tyre!
if you have a puncture it is much cheeper to jack up the car and replace with the donught wheel.

PLEASE read the manual for the car, there are several very important things you need to know about it.

If you have a puncture in the back tyre, take the front tyre off and replace the back wheel, then get the spare out and put the spare on the front!!!!

this will save you a new diff!

 

And the reason that parts are so much cheaper for preludes and civics is because everyone and their grandmother has one. There is a HUGE Market out for those cars, as for the LIMITED PRODUCTION s2000...Ehhh not so much. But it's worth it....Hell all the stares you get on a sunny day with the top down is worth it to me

 

LOL, how does it destroy the tire?

And if the tire is flat/blown, isn't it already destined for the tire recycling factory?

 

It ruins the tire... That gunk has to be completely removed from the tire, and will cause it to be unbalanced I believe... At the very least, getting the flat fixed will be more expensive because of the extra labor involved...

As far as being flat/blown-- What good is a can of air/glue going to do you if the tire is BLOWN? Wouldn't you rather have your donut wheel there than save 15 lbs?

 

I'd argue that a flat tire is a useless tire, repair or not. You can certainly have it repaired, but I wouldn't be driving aggressively on that tire ever again. I just wouldn't trust it.

The fix-a-flat would likely (?) get on your wheel as well, possibly causing it to be unbalanced. I'm guessing that most tire shops wouldn't even bother/offer to remove the gunk either. I think the best option is to just keep the spare tire in there when you're not tracking the car.
