Slime Smart Spare

For many classic cars, carrying a spare tire—or even changing a flat tire—is not a viable or appealing option. Slime has come up with a compact, easy fix for virtually any tire. Using the enclosed valve stem remover, the tire’s valve is removed and the enclosed bottle of green “slime” is squeezed in. Replace the valve and then re-inflate the tire with the included compact, DC compressor. Drive for a quarter of mile and then re-check the tire’s inflation…that’s it! (Note, Slime will not repair or seal tires with inner tubes.) $29.99
