I want to buy one of these but the no spare tire is a deal breaker. What happens if you have a blowout and the inflator won’t cut it? I have to call a tow truck for a flat tire? That’s ridiculous. Do better.
The sealant is for one-time use. Once it's used, the kit/tire must be replaced. This turns into a very expensive repair, $1,200 plus. It's much cheaper to buy a full-size spare tire.
On long road trips, I use a Thule roof rack for our luggage. It sucks, but the spare goes in the hatch. Better to be safe than sorry.
Just used this is and the sealant seems to be very weak compared to other fix kits. It doesnt close the hole as i still hear the air leak and the sealant fluid is leaking out the hole. At best it put air in your tire and show you where a hole is.
Honda could at least include a jack
Update: Might have jumped the gun a bit. I drove the car to the nearest shop (15 min away) and while I was waiting in line to get service, I checked the tire again and I didnt hear the air leak anymore, nor did I see the sealant leaking out either. Should have realized it would take time and some movement to settle enough and fill the hole.

if a big Rusty NAIL is sticking into the tyre. will the sealant cover it to prevent the tyre from deflating again. I DON'T THINK SO.
If the tire blows out and you don't have a spare, it could put you in a dangerous situation. critics gives you a spare in TBE Camry and Rav4
rav4 cx50 hybird carry spare tire.
This is the ONLY reason why i holdoff on buying crv hybrid.. I really like the car, its just thinking without spare makes me feel anxious..
