That's why I don't carry the sealant - although some brands are supposed to be safe.

So far, simply having the compressor and plug kit in the trunk has warded off most flats. I did pick up a nail in a non RFT DWS, but since the pressure loss was under 1 psi per day, I actually drove 4,000 miles on it before finding the nail & having it repaired.

And I have learned to slow down over bad pavement and to steer around potholes to avoid blowouts & wheel damage.
