Sounds cool, But I wonder how much of a pain it is to get the goop off
your tire when you get a permenint fix for it.. Think about it, if this
good will seal a slashed tire so you can drive it.. It's not going to be
easy to clean it off ? And if the shop you take it to will clean it or
not ? I think I would rather get CAA (AAA in the US) instead..
