I have used these on motorcycle tires years ago. They do work but you still have to carry a compressor. If you buy the kit, get the one with the pistol grip installer. It works much better than the other one.

On Corvette tires???? Nope! Wouldn't catch me doing that.

I have one like the one with the trigger handle. It worked ok at first for my truck tires, but after a few uses the plug with get stuck in the gun and wouldn't come out properly. I don't know if it was due to the plugs getting harder or something in the gun itself. I quit using it.

Haven't used that particular product. I bought a Victor kit from Wal-Mart when I was running non-runflats. Never had to use it, but nice to have it in the car just in case.

I guess I wasn't thinking of the "in a pinch" part of it. I do carry a small 12 volt compressor and a regular plug kit plus the AARP road service card. I think this cost me about $69 a year. The reason I choose their service, it was the only one I could find that will flatbed the car to wherever I want up to 100 miles. If I'm tooling around home and have an issue I can have it delieverd right to my own shop. I hope I never have to use it!
