Flat tire repair kit

[mass59k]

Our Travato 59k does not have a spare tire. We have a kit with the green gooey stuff and compressor. Has anyone used this and is it successful.
Thanks. .Wayne in Mass

This right here. The plugs are sold mostly for ATV type tire repair but do work on other tires. I wouldn't use the plugs as a long term fix but they will get you to town and don't make a mess in the tire. I have had rigs come out of the woods where the operator put a 3" cut in the side wall of the tire and filled the cut up with tire plugs so it would hold air long enough to get to town.

Putting the green gooey in will invalidate the warranty on the tire, if it's still valid, even if the problem occurred before its application. Check the wording of the warranty if it's still applicable.

Usually the green gooey stuff will only fix a tire with a small enough hole that you could probably still air up the tire with the compressor and still get to a garage to fix it without actually needing to use the green gooey stuff. The bigger problems that seem to get mentioned are blow outs or tire disintegration and no amount of gooey stuff is going to fix that. The gooey stuff is supposed to only be a temporary fix, although I guess you might get a few more miles to the garage you want if you did use it.
As the above poster said though, if you have a tire pressure monitoring devices installed or built in the stuff will ruin them.
Most manufacturers of large RV's omit the spare tire cause they don't want an owner trying to jack up anything that huge to replace a tire, hence the popularity of roadside assistance with tire plans.

Those kits are worthless, might as well throw it out. Once you realize your tire is going flat (unless you have TPMS), your tire is pretty much toast by the time you pull over.

Does that vehicle have TPMS? If so, it will be an expensive replacement if you put goo in the tire.
