I need Slime but what Slime ?

Ok, just ordered some non run flats for my JCW. Trying Kumho SPT's, at $75 each I can't go wrong. Anyway, need to get Slime or some other kit.

Any advice, experiences, any slime like products better than others ?

Does anyone use actual repair kits ? I tried this once on a brandnew, big, wide and expensive Audi tire and nearly had a heart attack trying to force the rubber plug into the tire. Are there easy to use kits out there ?

Last question, what do you do once you have put Slime into the tire. Leave it ? Get the tire fixed at a tire shop ? Buy a new tire ?

Continental Comfort Kit offers latex based fix a flat slime, in a compact effective package. Water soluable makes easy cleanup. ANY ______ in your tire is only temporary - get it repaired and cleaned.

...got two

I've got an extra of the Cont. Comfort kit, that I bought for my daughter a couple of months ago, who then opted for runflats anyway. I was going to put it on ebay when I can get around to it. Make an offer, if interested.
