My Z28 has been in storage for the last month, over that time it developed small leack in the front pass. side tire, Is Fix-A-Flat okay to use on a camaro? Or can I get it patched at Sears for something?

Fix A Flat Works Great.... UNTIL it goes below freezing.... Then you got a block of ice in you tire Otherwise you still got a bunch of fluid rolling around in your tire to throw of the balance

Basically should only be used if you plan on unmounting the tire to fix the leak or or just plain replacing the tire soon...

It's my understanding it works great for emergencies...but your tire guy will hate you when he has to fix it.

I had to use it when money was tight and I broke the seal in one of my rear tires. Long story short it ended up spewing all over the rim, and now about 2 months later the finish is peeling off my rim. (I didn't just leave it on there, but that stuffs impossible to get off)

If your car is indeed in storage, why not take the wheel to your local tire store and have it fixed? Fix-a-flat will not help too long if the car is just sitting there.

And not to mention all the nasty things it does, which have already been mentioned above.

You can patch a flat yourself if you buy a kit. They aren't that much and work well. Fix a flat is junk. I'd rather be towed.

Well, I just took the car out of storage. Sounds like I should skip on the Fix a Flat. Where could I go to get it patched?

Any tire store that you might have close by. Just do yourself, and your tire, a favor and make sure they patch it from the insde and not just stick a plug in it. I think all the major stores are actually doing it, but just make sure.

YES!!! Thank you!!! It's fine for emergencies. Some of the aluminum wheels develop corrosion around the bead seating area. I used to just take the tire off and grab the cookie cutter and clean the rim up. Then run a bit of wheel sealant around the bead.
