While the Fix-A-Flat® product is in a liquid state, it is water soluble and can be removed with a paper towel or rag or preferably, soap and water. Once it has dried Fix-A-Flat® must be removed using odorless, mineral spirits (normally available at hardware stores).

Yes, there is nothing in the formulation that would prevent a tire from being repaired. Advise the tire repair professional that you have used Fix-A-Flat® brand tire inflator in your tire, so they may properly clean the tire for repair.

No. The tire does not need to be completely flat. Fix-A-Flat® is designed to provide a temporary emergency repair that will allow you to safely travel to a tire repair facility. It is not designed as a permanent solution. Fix-A-Flat® will not repair sidewall or severe damage, large punctures or cracks in wheels or rim leaks.

Yes, Fix-A-Flat® will seal small punctures and fill the tire with enough tire pressure to get you back on the road. Immediately drive the car for at least 2-4 miles and visit a gas station to fill your tire with the proper amount of air pressure as soon as possible. Visit a qualified tire professional at the earliest opportunity for a permanent repair.

Yes, if the temperature falls below 32 degrees Fahrenheit it will freeze. The product in the can is not damaged and may be used after thawing. If the product is in the tire, and freezing weather is predicted, then immediately take the vehicle to a qualified tire professional for repair.

Several people have successfully installed 18" wheels on their E46's, however it is unlikely that this improves performance over a 17" wheel. The advantages of a larger wheel are better steering response and aesthetics. The disadvantages are greater unsprung weight (may affect suspension response) and greater rotational momentum/inertia, i.e. acceleration and braking will suffer.

Some will tell you "Yes, remove their wheel for 3 days". Honestly though, I never have. Again, this is a comfort issue for you. If you feel that leaving the wheel could make them further injure themselves (and risk SM) then by all means, remove their wheel. It definitely won't hurt them to go without their wheel for a few days. With my gliders, it seems as if the wheel provides a distraction for them as well as a stress reliever. It is very hard for them to chew if they are running.

All M coupes use the same size tires (225/45ZR17 in the front and 245/40ZR17 in the rear) mounted on one of two versions of the five-spoke "M RoadStar" alloy wheel. Both are sized 7.5x17-inch (front) and 9x17-inch (rear), but there are two distinct finishes: Early M coupes (S50 and S52 engines) feature a Chromeline finish, while the later models (S54 engine) utilize a darker Chrome Shadow finish.

Yes we do - and we will be adding this information to the website shortly. The advantage of purchasing a wheel/tire package is that you are eliminating the need to have your wheels and tires balanced by your tire shop - we do that for you. Not only does this save you the money that it would cost at an independent tire shop, you also reduce the risk of that tire shop damaging the wheels.

You can bring the item back to the retailer that you purchased it from, so they can take up the matter with the Diamond Distributors customer service representative. DC Direct is not equipped to respond to requests to repair broken items or ship replacement parts.

Never try to mount your own tires. Tire mounting is a job for the people who have the proper equipment and experience. If you try to do it yourself, you run the risk of serious injury to yourself as well as possible damage to the tire and rim. Never choose a smaller size than those that came with the car. Tires should always be replaced with the same size designation -- or approved options -- as recommended by the vehicle manufacturer.

Some replace the factory wheels to customize their car or to facilitate plus sizing, while others purchase aftermarket wheels to use on the track. Whatever the reason, a wheel and tire package selected must fit within the wheel well without rubbing on the suspension or fender. On street cars, it should have an overall diameter that is within ?3% of the factory specification.

There were two available wheel and tire sizes for the M635CSi. Early European-spec cars used the standard 6 Series metric-sized wheels (390mm x 165mm) with 220/55VR390 Michelin TRX tires. However, optional from the start of production (standard in some markets) were larger, two-piece alloys in a cross-spoke design measuring 415mm x 195mm (16.3-in. x 7.7-in.). Cars with these wheels carry 240/45VR415 Michelin TRX tires.

Yes. Once the puncturing object has been removed a seal will form that will last for the life of the tire.

No. Fix-A-Flat® is not recommended for those applications. Fix-A-Flat® is recommended for use on (non-Z rated, non-motorcycle) vehicle tires only.

There are two ways to correct the apparent "now" problem. The preferred method is to set the TZ variable for your system. The second way to correct the problem is by editing the astrolog.dat file. The easiest way to edit this file is to start astrolog then select "Help -> Documentation -> Open Defaults" on the main menu line. This should open astrolog.dat in notepad. If you get an error then start notepad and navigate to the directory containing astrolog.

All E39 M5s are fitted exclusively with 18-inch M Parallel Spoke II cast alloy wheels featuring a Satin Chrome finish. These wheels, which measure 8x18-inch (front) and 9.5x18-inch (rear) and wear staggered 245/40ZR18 (front) and 275/35ZR18 (rear) tires, are specific to the E39 M5.
