How long can you ride on those Fix-A-Flat cans?

[Passions]

I popped my tire with some big thorn. If I pump it up with Fix-A-Flat, can I travel 40 miles on the HWY with it?

Hell yeah! I've rode around for months on a can of fix-a-flat. If it starts to go down again just put another can in.

It lasted a long time, at least a year :beer:

And you don't need to put that label on the tire or inform the serviceman that it's in there, either....

To the nearest tire repair joint. It can seriously throw a tire out of balance. BTW, the repair dudes wont be too happy you used that stuff.

Quite a while. If it's making a seal it'll take something else to make it blow. Of course the tire is less stable because of the puncture in the first place...

edit: now balance is something totaly different.

+ $20 - $50 to get the flat fixed.

hah, that's a hell of a thorn. Seriously, I wouldn't wait that long before having it checked out. Your life/safety is worth the small time and cash investment.

Well, its also been said to corrode aluminum or magnesium wheels, and its flammable.

It can cost as much as $10 to get a tire fixed.
