Having the Continental Conti Mobility Kit on board will mean that you will no longer require a spare wheel and tyre, so saving you up to 18kg weight and saving you much needed boot space. There is NOTHING in the Continental sealant kit that will damage the tire. It's simply a watered-down latex product, is not caustic. It flows into the hole, temporarily plugging it. For centuries, mobility has been one of the most important human needs. Digitalization opens up completely new possibilities for realizing innovative mobility concepts and ideas. Tomorrow’s mobility is connected, individual, flexible and sustainable. We already offer our customers smart solutions today, creating innovative service offerings that also ensure individual mobility in the future. Continental Mobility Services supports you in developing and implementing comfortable, safe and efficient solutions for future mobility in and around vehicles. The reason car makers include these mobility kits is they save weight and don’t take up valuable space. In modern cars, particularly electric vehicles, space is at a premium. And the area where the spare wheel once lived is often taken up with the battery or electronics. You’ll still need your alloy wheel key

Just FYI, the Continental Mobility kit that comes with the car states this warning about using the tire sealant: Slime" is a different product. They are a different chemistry. We should avoid calling the Conti sealant "Slime". However, our new Acura was shipped with the Mobility kit only Acura replaced their goo with Acura Sealant, and it says this on the label: When you are driving the re-inflated tire, I would keep an eye on the tire after a few miles, to ensure that the tire is still full of air. If the tire goes flat soon, then re-inflate and drive to a safe location or car repair place immediately. As I’ve already mentioned, the sealant won’t repair every puncture and it’s quite expensive. In addition, it’s not a permanent fix. It’s designed to get you home so you’ll need a new tyre as soon as possible.You might have noticed your car doesn’t have a full-size spare wheel and tyre. On more modern motors you might not find any kind of spare wheel at all. Instead, many cars come with tyre inflation kits, sometimes sometimes known as mobility kits. And even if you get away without needing a new tyre, you’ll still have to buy a replacement sealant bottle. Why don’t we have spare wheels any more?

When using the Conti Mobility kit, you should pressurize the tire as high as possible, perhaps 40psi. Sealant WILL blow out of the hole. Driving 3-5 miles, at 30-40mph, will cause the sealant to solidify in the hole (air pressure plus friction) and the "hissing" will stop. If it DOESN'T stop hissing, the hole is too big , and in fact, you'll see that the PSI won't go anywhere near 40psi. Fair warning! If you don't remove the bottle of sealant shortly after using the kit...it will be permanently glued to the compressor. The compressor can be reused if you keep the orange plug cap! Be sure to clean out the compressor afterward as much as possible to remove the sealant. I would like to propose the following, because not all flats are the same... You do not always have to repair the tire or do any physical labor right at the scene of the flat "crime".asimba2 wrote:Just FYI, the Continental Mobility kit that comes with the car states this warning about using the tire sealant:

Tyre inflation kits combine a bottle of puncture-sealing adhesive gel with a compressor. You plug the bottle of mousse into the compressor which in turn plugs into the cigarette lighter or 12-volt outlet. This then pumps air and the gel into the tyre through the valve. As the air is pumped in it forces the gel to the outside of the tyre where it fills the hole that’s letting the air out. The whole process should take about 10 minutes. At least that’s the theory. Do mobility kits work?The Dimensions for the Continental Conti-Mobility Kit are: 180 x 249 x 95 mm, and only 2.3kg in weight. No, the Acura tire sealant and inflator kit sealant will not affect the TPMS sensors or system in the vehicle (other sealants may, however). If the tire is repaired after using the supplied sealant, the sealant should be flushed from the TPMS sensor using cool water." Most flats have a nail or object that has punctured the tire, and is still in the tire. The tire still holds air, and has a slow leak. Odds are that when you find the tire flat, you have been driving the car with the puncture for days already. You may also find that some garages are reluctant to fix tyres where puncture sealant has been used. This is because it can be messy stuff to deal with. However, there’s no technical reason why a tyre shouldn’t be repaired (assuming it’s legal to do so) if gel like this has been used. Should you take the tyre to be repaired, just make sure you mention to the technician that a sealant has been pumped in.
