Default Flat Proof Tires - Does any Shop offer this?

I really dont want to spend the insane money for a new Heavy set of Harsh riding RUNFLAT tires again for my C5. My wife wants the security of knowing she can drive home with a flat and not have to call AAA..

I have poked around on the interwebs and found most mountain bikers have switched to tubeless tires filled with Slime..

Also Slime is reportedly TPMS safe per their website.

I even found this site www.rhinotire.com But dont see where I can get it done..

I am really leaning towards the Nitto 555 G2 and want to "Flat-Proof" them. Who has done this or where can I get it done?

NO NO NO slime is bad on tires, rim.. a mess when you have to change tires to say the least. Also can cause bad imbalance problems and blow outs at speed because of this.. Buy the tires you want and get a couple of bottles of slime for if she has a flat and needs it to get home.
