Spare Tire Delete

[wjburken]

Some shops will charge extra to change a tire with goo in it. I worked in a place where they charged an extra hour labor to clean up all the mess it makes. It can make a huge mess when the tire is broken down and gets all over the equipment.

True. I was replying to the comment about messing with TMPS sensors. If I recall, many of the goo cans come with a sticker to put on the rim to warn the tire shop that the tire has been goo'd. Goo has always been my last resort.

Doesn't it dry after time?

I have seen it gush out all over the machines and the clean up can be a major ordeal. It is certainly a good way to piss off your tire changer.

For me I carry a full size spare, tire repair patches, plugs, I have a compressor on board but for a fast fill up I use the following tank...

I actually pulled a long nail out of my tire the other day. I used 2 plugs to seal it, but it was still leaking. Threw some old fix a flat in there, hoping that'll work.
