I thought about using tire sealant, but is it safe to use on our cars? Mine doesn't have TPMS but it does detect when the tire is flat.

What do you guys think?

Also, what's a good tire sealant? I'm debating between Slime or Ultra Seal.
Have the same issue in 1 tire only. It just happened a few months ago...I think the valve stem is cracked or something. i read one Member found a hairline crack in his wheel. I inspected and did not find anything though. I personlly just keep air in the compressor. i would never use tire sealant.

+1 on not using tire sealant. If you ever need tires replaced, most (if not all shops) will charge extra if you've used tire sealant. Just give your local tire shop a jingle and ask them what their stance on tire sealant is.

+2 ... some leaks are difficult to detect unless the work is done by a pro who has the right equipment and takes his/her time.
