Today, my tire was a little low on air. I decided to put in a can of Fix-A-Flat and drive home. Since it was 10 degrees outside and snowing, the can became frozen to the valve. When I finally got the can off, I had ruined the valve, so I had to put on the spare tire. It was flat too. FML

1) Fix-a-flat is WORTHLESS. 2) Why use it to put in a tire that isn't flat in the first place? Idiot. 3) It leaves a nasty residue on your tire and rim. That wheel will never be able to achieve balance. And the person who will change your tire will kick your ass. 4) Always check your spare tire. There should be a flashing neon YDI for you, dumbass.

A tire being 'low' on air is NOT A REASON to use Fix-A-Flat (for FLAT tires, as in a hole is poked through and it WON'T hold air). Fix-A-Flat does NOT air up your tire. It only pours in a thick goop to temporarily patch a hole so that you can then ADD air so it would HOLD air.....Weather changes cause your air pressure to fluctuate, even monthly, or every couple of weeks. Sorry, my husband began his career as a tire tech, so this just makes me want to call you retarded!! Oh yeah, and the guy that repairs your tire will seriously curse you for using that crap...

she wasn't whinging about the cold, she was complaining about the flat tyre(s). Shut up.

You don't use FaF on a tire that isn't flat. You also need to keep a spare - which must be in usable condition - in your trunk, etc. This is what you might call sticking both feet in your mouth.

and someone knocked the hubcap out of your hands and the lugnuts scattered in the snow. You thought you said "Fudge," but you said the queen mother of dirty words. Then, your mom washed your mouth out with soap and you went blind from "thoap poithoning." Yeah, we get it, move along, bye.

i don't know how much temperature effects the pressure in the tires but maybe the spare wasn't flat, buy just had low pressure due to the temperature

Tires are less inflated in the cold, the air molecules are simply closer together. The answer to a slightly flattened tire ESPECIALLY when it is cold is not fix-a-flat, it's rolling up to a gas station that has an air pump and putting in air cause that junk is disgusting. The crap freezes too which if hmmm i'm thinking is 32 degrees and therefore you are a raging moron for trying to se it in 10 degree weather you aren't even supposed to leave it in your tires when it dips below freezing let alone put it in YDI

When your tire is low on air, put air in it. Fix a flat destroys your tire. Also, when you do routine tire pressure checks (I use the term you loosely, as in people in general, because its safe to assume you don't) you're supposed to check your spare tire too.

low tires do NOT mean there is a puncture, especially in extremely cold weather. the cold decreases air pressure that is why your spare was flat too. if you fill your tire at 90 degrees it will be flat at 10. if you fill your tire at -10 degrees then drive it in 100 degree weather it could explode (probably not but it will be overfilled)
