Tire Sensors

I drive a lot of country roads and had one or two slow leaks a month. I got Flat Free by ASI Custom Chemical over the road tire life extender and sealant 4 years ago and haven't had one since. I plan to use this in my Elio's tires. Got it from Amazon.com.

I'll probably carry the same gummy worm hole repair kit that I keep in my shop. It's very small and pretty simple to use. It won't fix a tire off the rim, of course, but if I run over a nail or screw, it'll fix those types of holes. A can of fix a flat will have to suffice to inflate the tire at that point though unless I'm really close to a fill station (or home).

Yep I have a very similar kit that I keep on my Honda Magna.

Thank Aknaten, I'll have to look it up.

Been an Elioowner a short time, I remember a similar conversation and at that time I asked ELIO a question.

Since our beloved ELIO's will not be carrying a spare, I thought I would ask about Contiseal.http://www.continental-tires.com/car/technology/extended-mobility-main/contiseal

I bought a cheap air compressor and added some longer wires for the battery hookup. I keep in in one of my saddlebags on my cruiser bike. I have never had to use it, but I have aired up quite a few tires for my buddies when we go on group rides. I am amazed at how many riders do not check their tire pressures before they ride. I had one guy with 19 lbs in the rear tire and 16 in the front on a Honda Shadow 1100cc. I noticed how low his tires were at our first stop after 55 miles.

That's pretty dangerous. My bike tires don't need much air but they do need SOME!

I would never use slime in my tires. It is going to throw its balance off and I'm not sure you can get the crap out.

If Euel Gibbons wouldn't use tire slime, I wouldn't either.

Didn!t Euel promote eating lots of nuts for good health, but he died anyway?? (I love Nuts)

Yule Gobbons that takes me back a bit. I remember one of his sayings was "ever eat a pine tree? many parts are edible. :-)
