    I did search!! Nothing to help comes up, looking into picking up some flat tire repair stuff for when out on trails. I see products like Slime can not be used because of the tire sensors, true? What are you all using?
    Thanks

    A plug kit and a scuba tank for me.

    I got real comfortable with plugs again after putting 10,000s of miles on them on my motorcycles.

    For small punctures, a DynaPlug is great. Next up is half of a sticky snake (Slime plugs). The doubled up plugs for bigger stuff.

    Fix-a-Flat may not do the trick, is sometimes dependent on getting some heat in the tire from rolling, and will not get much air in the tire.

    I would love to use Slime or Airsoft pellets for dynamic balancing.

    Get a plug kit and a pump, all that shit in the cans is basically the same, death to sensors.

    I am curious about the scuba tank, do you mean a real scuba tank or just a generic pressurized air tank with an air hose on it?

    Like everyone said just get a plug and patch kit. ARB makes an ok one.

    That said. I hate repairing tires in the field, I just put the spare on.

    A real scuba tank. A friend gave it to me when it was due for hydro. I like the compact size. I made a mount for it:
