Good idea batman.What,you didnt think my post was funny? Just trying to make a point.We shouldnt be concerned about some guy at a tire shop getting his hands dirty.If you have a flat in the woods or on the highway and have fix-a-flat,then use it.

As others have said, fix-a-flat does work. I have used it in the past on an 18" wheel for a few months and never had any issues with it. I only carry patch kit with me now and haven't used it yet but I also have a full size spare.

why do you say that? whats in it ?
