Tire question!!

mwlmd · 07-24-2015, 08:40 PM

I have a flat. I hit a nail on freeway halfway between portland and Seattle. Tire pressure was fine rest of the drive. The next morning tire was flat. So question is. Can I use M mobility kit to inflate tire and drive 170 miles home. Then get it fixed locally?! Or do I need to get it fixed in Seattle before I drive home??

Partly depends on the severity of the puncture and the location.

If it is in the shoulder lugs then you really should get it replaced. If it is in the center track then I would plug it and then patch it later. You could use the mobility kit but IMHO I would personally prefer a plug in the short term.

Good Luck!

It will be very inconvenient to get it patched. My question is do you think I can make it home with M mobility kit???

I would say no. It's a risk for a big, heavy and powerful car.
If I were you, I would fix it ASAP.
Mobility kit is good to just take you to the closest tire shop IMO

From user manual:

Continuing the trip
Do not exceed the maximum permissible speed
of 50 mph/80 km/h.
Reinitialize the Flat Tire Monitor, refer to
page 97.
Reinitialize the Tire Pressure Monitor, refer to
page 95.
Replace the defective tire and the sealant bottle
of the Mobility System as soon as possible.

No, not really recommended to do a 3hr drive like that.

Patch it.
put a sticky stick for so you can drive to your nearest shop till you get it patch.

So I ended up inflating with mobility compressor minus goo and driving 5 miles to shop where I had it patched. Problem solved.
