Don't be so sure. GM is known for screwing people. I guarantee you if you use that, dealers will claim it's not covered under warranty.

eh, negative. If GM supplies my vehicle with a "tire sealant" from the GM Factory, and it ***** up my wheels, they are covering it. not a matter of "maybe," its a confirm.

Now, if I go and use a 3rd party tire sealant, yeah, different story.

That sealant crap will get all over the inside(outside?) of your wheels, inside the tires, sit inside the TPMS sensor... it'll dry up and cause a whole mess of problems. Good luck with GM

by the way how do you put up big pics like that?

Erm, I just uploaded it to one of 'my album' ... it was actually 800x600 originally but I guess it resized it.

I'm actually going to take some better ones tomorrow after a wash and on level ground ... you can't tell on these pics but they're taken on a serious downhill and side slope which don't do the truck justice.

it still looks really good, does it still ride as nice as before? or is it a little more rough?

To be honest I can't tell the difference in ride quality ... but then again I haven't hit any giant potholes yet or tried to drive in the snow. :)
