Slime or Conti Comfort Kit?
I'm pulling the trigger on Michelin PS2s (295/30-18 front and 295/30-19 rear). Which is the best (or preferred) flat tire repair kit:
Slime, or
Conti Comfort Kit?
Which Slime kit is recommended:
Smart Spair 15 Minute Emergency Tire Repair Kit, or
Power Spair Flat Tire Repair Kit?

This is offtopic a bit....but a 295 front is huge...that wont fit in the fenders.
Slime kits will POSSIBLY ruin the sensors in the tires. I would go with a plug kit, a TINY bottle jack if you can find one, and a small air compressor.

From the non-Tech section of this forum:
This product [Slime] is OE for Ferrari and other high end vehicles that are not equipped with a spare. The use of tire plugs will void some tire manufactures warranty. I did a tremendous amount of research on this prior to retiring from AAA as their VP of Automotive Services. The AAA Federation now "approves" Slime for their road side assistance services.

Here's what Slime says about it:

They say it's water soluble, may "temporarily" inable sensors, but can be cleaned up by your tire professional.
I bet your tire shop is going to have fun cleaning the stuff out of the sensor, but I guess it can be done.
Took my wife out shopping 2 weeks ago. After dinner we got on the interstate and had a "ding" and message in the DIC that the left rear was 23 psi.
We were 30 miles from home on a Friday night at 10:15 PM. I've got runflats so we were home a little before 11:00.
I'm sticking with runflats!

I sure was nice not needing to stop at 10:30 on a Friday night on the black-as-coal interstate 20 miles from town.
