Next time you go to Walmart, pick up a couple of cans of Fix A Flat to keep in the car, it's easy and it works great. And I should know, my old mechanic used to say "The Queen of Flats is here" as soon I walked in the door, because he knew what I was there for.

will it work if it is not a flat? I know that sounds crazy, but it does not have any holes. This keeps happening and it's been tested and found to always be good! The last time I went in they took it off the rim and resealed it, and it lasted a couple of months. I've tried researching this, and seems my kinda car has a problem with the rims.

I am definitely getting one of those pumps though!

Sandy,

There is a really good chance it will work. I had to do it with a car once and its like when they reseal it. It isn't a permanent fix but it will last a few months and save you the hassle you just went through. The fix a flat inflates the tire AND injects a sealant that conforms to the leak, blocking it. No more air pump that don't work, and it inflates perfectly. I always kept a can in my car so I never got stuck. I hope it works for you too...and it's inexpensive--less than 5 dollars.

i have never used the product but am gonna buy a can... but i do know a bit about tires.. sometimes there is no hole but the tire is not fully sealed to the rim causing this to happen over and over again.. problem.. the rim might have a slight bend in it , and the cost of having it resealed is about 1/2 as much as a whole new tire.. so catch 22 .. like our lives (lol) .. i think sandy you have it right get the pump, and to the girls they are right to get the product.. have a whole arsenal, just in case...... and yep as you said we know the drill ( vomiting) in dans case it is usually BM -- arghhhh been there and doing that - just like you.. hang in there you /we are doing good... !!! get the perpetual tree lit- or you will never know what season it is ... LOL nancyl !!!!!

If you have aluminum rims on your vehicle, that can be a real problem. Went through that once. If you can afford new steel rims it might be a good idea.

My husband's always have cans of fix a flat, it works and it is cheap.I am going to tell him about the pump you mention, that sounds great.

Hope Bob is feeling better.

And did you get your tree lit? We have our lights up, plus, i put up my "village". Still thinking about a tree, Grandkids will be with their fathers and it is only hubby and me.

Sandy, Sorry to hear that Bob isn't feeling well. I know that around our area there is a 24 hour bug going around that makes everyone feel yucky. Most of my family was sick the weekend before thanksgiving. Glad Mike didn't go to the dinner with me and end up getting it. As far your tire, have they checked the valve stem in it? I know you said you had it checked for leaks but if they didn't check the valve stem it could be loosing air there. Also having fix a flat and a portable air compressor in your car at all times is a fantastic idea although i'm not sure how many times you can put fix a flat in your tire to pump it up if its an ongoing problem. I would suggest getting some different rims if the mechanic seems to think that is the culprit! Hope Bob feels better soon! ((((((((((HUGS)))))))))) to the both of you!

Sandy: do hope Bob is feeling better. Hydrate and rest, best thing for him. And do see to yourself. You are running 90mph, so fit in some down time for you. Debbie
