Conticomfortkit

Has anone tried this yet?

Seems kind of pricey

http://www.tirerack.com/accessories/...tkit/index.jsp



The ContiComfortKit combines a powerful, high-volume, 12-volt air compressor, integral pressure gauge and a latex liquid tire sealant packaged in a compact, lightweight unit that's easy to store in the vehicle. (Kit is 9.5"W x 7"H x 3.75"D.) This product's sealant may interfere with the tire pressure monitoring sensors on vehicles with direct TPMS, possibly leading to error prompts and incorrect pressure readings. Use of this product on direct TPMS vehicles could also result in damage to the tire pressure sensor inside the wheel. Please contact your sales specialist at The Tire Rack for more information.
The ContiComfortKit can also be used as a stand-alone compressor without the sealant activated. When used in this mode, the ContiComfortKit can be used for periodic tire maintenance to compensate for tire pressure losses over time or due to changes in ambient temperature. And in the case of a very slow leak, the ContiComfortKit can restore sufficient pressure without requiring the use of sealant to drive the vehicle to a nearby tire repair facility.

I carry one. Never used it for a puncture but it fills up a low tire pretty quick if I'm not at home.

Less expensive alternative that will essentially serve the same purpose:

Yes I know about the slime one but it seems pretty cheap and cheaply made too.

I don't mind spending more for a quality product that will last a long time and wanted to get some info and see if anyone was using it.

I've read thru the slime link previously.

Eric your link doesn't go anywhere?

That's wierd. I swear it worked this morning. Let's try again - I just did a search on conticomfortkit - 22 results

Me, I stick with plugs and a compressor. I'm not big on squirting liquids into my tires.
