Tire Sealant: Permanent Fix?
Much rain here in Florida lately. Drove through a puddle, came out of the grocery store 10 minutes later and front tire was flat.
2025 Civic, no spare, just a compressor and bottle of sealant in the trunk. Never used sealant to repair a flat. Is this considered permanent, or a temp fix requiring a shop to inspect and plug/patch the tire?
I also read online that the sealant can do damage in the long run and needs to be flushed out. True, or more internet nonsense? The bottle of OEM sealant needs to be replaced. Honda quoted me $67! Are other brands sufficient?
