A note to all about the "FIX-A-FLAT".

We have a number of wheeled vehicles on our farm and I just replaced two tires on a small wagon.

The stuff in Fix a flat had turned to a greasey mess and seemed to have attached itself to the wheel ( NOT tire ) more than anything else. A real mess. There was NONE in the tire to speak of.

Then on our farm truck, we have used it to get the truck to the tire center. The weight was so far off, the truck shook violently between 40 and 62 MPH.

All has been fixed. The guy at the tire center said this is for emergencies only.

So, if you use this and keep driiving around, you may have a assembly balance challenge as well as gunk on you rim.

Hope this helps.
