I've used it with mixed results. I hear that it leaves nasty corrosive goop behind in the wheel and it only worked on one out of two tries with me. OK for emergencies only, then get the tire and wheel thoroughly cleaned. I'd recommend your mom gets a cell phone and an AAA membership. Also I'd be afraid that the can might burst if stored in a car, leaving a huge mess.

My wife would never change a tire so I gave her 3 items:

1.) Cell Phone
2.) AAA membership
3.) Fix-A-Flat

I have used it a few times and it does work if the tires bead isn't broken, but, idoes cause a few problems. It does leave a corrosive goop on the wheel and it deteriorates the tire from the inside.

Thanks, Luke
