hope its the right decision... oh yeah - AAA in the wallet helps too.

 

did you do that for wieght savings?

 

I put my amp in there

 

weight savings and I am planning on putting a changer in the tool foam area to maximize space. I also had jumper cables and some other small things (tire gauge) that I wanted out of the way - so into the bag and into the spare tire area.

 

Does it rattle around, or did you wrap it all together?

Is there any concesous on what happens to the wheels when using fix-a-flat?

 

Please be aware one can of fix-a-flat is usually for 16-inch tires or smaller. If you have larger tires, you might want to store another can up in there.

 

actually - I think the size rating is just for the inflation amount. IE - the can can only reinfalte a tire so much without needing a compressor to properly inflate the tire. I have used a regular 16" rated can of fix-a-flat on an 18" Porsche wheel/tire and it worked ifne using their compressor to finish it off. If you think about it the BMW mobility system is just that - its doesnt actually have more sealant.

Nothing rattles - I put everything in a bag (oil, rag, jumper cables, compressor and fix-a-flat) and then stuffed it in. to make sure it doesnt slide out i just screwed the orignal spare tire bolt back in as a barrier. Works great.

Re: fix-a-flat sealant - it will ruin a tire once its inside. They get out of balance as it dries - but I am not one to patch or repair a high-performance tire to begin with. I'd rather replace it compeletly for peace of mind. The wheels just need to be cleaned up before remounting the new tire.
