This week, I got a nasty nail in my tire. I pulled over whipped out the M mobility garbage and attempted to use the Kit. As i was filling up the kit, the can with the glue like substance bursted open and leaked all over my car, white stuff was all over my seats, floor, and side panels. Thank gd i had some caca t-shirt to wipe it all down with. :thumbsdown:

I'm more than upset with this caca kit. A day later my plug popped out,drove on a F'd tire for about a block and tore open my whole tire, another unfortunate event. As I had no spare I was forced to drive from Manhattan to Brooklyn with 4 heads in my car on a flat tire. What a great way to save some weight.

If i buy a E60 spare, does anyone know it will clear the rotors and fit?

u have to get a 20mm or 30mm spacer to clear the brakes... but, for the rear u'll screw up ur differential trying to drive it with a spare from an e60. the circumference is too small u'd have to change the tire to a taller one.

You probably just had bad luck with the sealant can. Just buy a replacement one. The pump itself works right? I've never had to use the sealant but have used the pump about half a dozen time on my trip to Mfest in Vegas last year due to a slow leak in the seals of my old wheels. Way better than having to change a tire.

I'm also thinking about the tyreguardian though. I mean if it works as advertise and fixes leaks right when they happen, that's even better than getting out to pump the tire. haha
