has anybody used this stuff, or other products like it? i heard from a friend that it eats away at your tire, is this true or is it perfectly harmless? also are there other choices that are maybe better than fix-a-flat?

 

never use stuff like that cuz all it does it put liquids in ur tire that does nothing.. also can rust ur rim up..

if u get a flat.. better to pump it up and get it patched or replaced.. better to carry a small air pump than a can of fix a nothing

 

Take it to NTB or another tire place. Nowadays they take off the whole tire and patch it from the inside, so it works really good.

 

fix-a-flat sucks, it is only a temporary fix and when you do bring it into a tire shop to get the tire fixed its a PITA to clean and repair. best bet would be to put your spare on, air up the flat tire or tow it. fix-a flat is FTL

 

Fix-a-flat will eat the inner liner of your tire. I would highly rec. not touching that stuff.

 

okay thanks for all the info... i will definately not be touching anything like this stuff.

 

Good Idea. Get it done the right way the first time.

 

Fix-a-flat is great to get yourself out of a bad situation, and its small and convenient. I used it on my 600RR when i had a flat. I plugged the tire as soon as possible, fully deflated and fully inflated the tire several times to get the stuff out. Make sure you have a lot of fresh air or you'll be seeing stars.

 

it sucks for who ever changes the tire too when the break the bead it shoots every where. make sure you warn them

 

ive never had any problems with it...other then making a sticky mess
