WHAT IS THE TIRE SEALANT
AND INFLATOR KIT
The kit consists of an air compressor to
re-inflate the tire and a canister of sealing
compound that effectively seals most
punctures. This kit provides a temporary
tire repair allowing you to drive your vehicle
up to 120 mi (200 km) at a maximum
speed of 50 mph (80 km/h) to reach a tire
service location.
