If you are planning on non-run flats, I would suggest that you get a plug kit and stay away from the slim. I understand that one it will screw up your pressure sensors and most tire shops don't want to mess with the tires that have had it used or the charge a premium for the work.

I always carry a portable air compressor, a small jack, torque wrench and at least one bottle of Slime at all times since I have non-run flat tires. Slime doesn't effect or ruin the tire sensors. It is intended to be a temporary fix to get the tire repaired or replaced.
Slime has saved my Corvette friends and myself several times while picking up nails or screws on the road. The stuff works!

I agree that slime works.....but make sure to clean it carefully and soon ....as mentioned it messes up sensors and can pit the wheels.....
