Default Non Run Flat Fix

was going to get Fix-A-Flat to carry with me in case i had a flat on the road...currently have non run-flat MICHELIN PILOT SPORTs. On the back of the can, though, it says not to use on Z rated tires. Anyone know the reasoning or if it's even an issue? I don't have the sensors in my new wheels so i'm not worried about that...i also know i can use a plug and pump but at 2 am in the morning the last thing i want to do is try and plug a tire.

Fix-A-Flat is a temporary fix and for liability they don't want people assuming it is OK to run at high rates of speed. It's the company's loophole I imagine. My $.02
