I hit several large deer "chunks" in my wifes Saturn Sky. Middle of the night with a sidewall tear. I used the sealant kit and compressor. To high up on the sidewall to do any good. That last 70 miles home was a long trip since I had to stop every 15 minutes to reinflate the tire and I drove at a low speed. I had the option to call onstar and get towed but I chose to make it home and have it towed to my regular dealer. It sucked but I made it. When I called Onstar for the tow the next day I let them know to tell the towing service that it was a very low car and to come prepared. They ended up going back to their shop anyway to get more lumber to get it up on their flatbed. Dealer did not have a tire in stock and that took 2 days. They did not have a new sealant kit in stock and that took another week. Somebody made a comment about driving a 150 mile and hour car with fix a flat in the wheels. Read the can/owners manual. Fix a flat is only to get you to the tireshop as soon as possible. Your supposed to let them know you installed a sealant. It is not meant for continued daily use. You can either worry about not having a spare or think about the number of times you have actually had a flat from a good tire in your driving history. I'm going to get my Camaro and just go without a care in the world.
