C-5 tire issues
Hi guys. I am now here but not to Corvettes. I have a C-4 that I have had for 11 years and I now own a C-5 too.
The C-5 does not have run flats on it. What over the counter inflator/repair goo can I use in an emergency that will not damage the pressure sensors.
Thanks.

By the way, I haven't had a flat in 30 years. I have had slow leaks that were due to nails or screws but I had plenty of time to get to the tire shop.

I don't think there is a sealant on the market that will not have adverse effects on the TPM.
I suggest you follow Dave's recommendation and carry a 12v compressor and plugging kit. Also carry a small emergency blanket and flashlight to help in locating the puncture. This suggestion is worth all you paid for it.

I agree, just get an air compressor, plug kit and a jack that will work under the car. I would only use tire sealant as a last resort. Some type of emergency road service would be good as well as a cell phone just in case you need it.
