Tesla Model S has no spare, so this was a recommended product. Fortunately, I had it with me when I ran over a screw with my brand new winter tires. Use it as directed and it got me back on the road. Here are a few things I'd suggest: If you find the object that's causing the leak (nail or screw), leave it in the tire if reasonable. Leaving the object in the tire does a couple things: 1 - Re-inflating the tire should be easier with the object minimizing the leak. Taking it out will likely create a larger hole and make re-inflating more difficult. 2 - The Slime should seal around the object as a temporary fix and the damage will be easier for a tire shop to locate. Ideally, you'll want a professional fix for the tire. I took the screw out per the instructions and the tire shop ultimately couldn't find the damage or a leak. So, no professional fix for my tire. But, it appears to be sealed and not leaking. So, that's positive so far. Also, after putting the Slime into the tire and partially inflating, I carefully moved the car to rotate the leak to the very bottom of the tire until I didn't hear the leaking anymore. This way, any liquid Slime would flow down and seal the leak. In my case, that seemed to do the trick. One thing about the pump - It worked fine and has a handy little light on it. Nice. But the gauge isn't illuminated. I had to use it at night in the rain, holding my cell phone light over the gauge to check progress. The gauge absolutely needs to be illuminated. Good luck! Hopefully, this product sits in your trunk untouched for years.... But if you need it, from my experience, it works pretty well... so far. Read more
Let me start by saying that we have this item in all 4 of our vehicles. I was out of town and my daughter called me and said she had a flat. It was starting to get dark. I told her to run to the local auto parts store and buy this. She did, filled up her tire, sealed the leak and was able to take it to a tire shop the next day to get it fixed. I was so relieved. She has no auto repair skills, but stated that this was so easy to use. This product is sensor safe. Just tell the tire shop that you have a sealant in there and they will clean it out as well as the sensor. Also a great tire compressor. My buddies daughters' car had a slow tire leak and her tire was about flat. I simply plugged the compressor in to the acc power source and filled up her tire. The next day she got it fixed. No need to pull out the jack, tire tools, take off the lug nuts, etc... simply plug it in, fill up and go. Well worth the money. Read more
Pump is awesome my use it all the time. Would be a 5 start but the electric cord is too short to reach the back tires on my truck Read more
I bought some of these to keep in all of our vehicles to have in case of a flat. I've always had good luck with Slime products, they seem to work well! Read more

Bought this 2 years ago and I unfortunately had to use it today. As I left my campsite today I decided to go scope out other camp spots further down the canyon. Didn’t tell anyone in my group as it was a last minute decision, had no cell service, and far from a main road. So I’m suddenly alone and miles away from help with a flat and thankfully I had this kit in the car. It took quite a bit longer than 15 minutes, but far better than hiking for hours for help! When I tried to inflate the tire, air kept leaking out of the puncture site. I pulled forward a few inches so the puncture was at the bottom of the tire which seemed to help the slime do it’s job. I had to let the pump cool down in the middle of inflation but it worked!! My next dilemma was I was 80 miles from home. All tire shops in the closet town were closed (Sunday’s in Utah are awful), so I chanced it and drove all the way home. Thankfully I made it safely! I can’t recommend this enough! More and more cars come without spare tires now a days so this is a must have!! Read more
I bought this for emergency situations. My wife's tire had a nail in it and a slow leak. I was unsure what the slime would do to the rim so thought I'd just bring the tire up to recommended psi with the compressor before having a plug installed at the tire store. When attempting to connect the compressor's hose to the Schrader valve on the tire, the lever to seal the hose broke. It was then completely unusable and could not make an air tight connection to the tire. I don't have experience with the slime, but the compressor is of very poor quality and I feel fortunate to have discovered this outside of an emergency situation. Read more
