Flat Tire + Mobility Kit Question

What’s the best way to fix a non-runflat flat tire with the BMW mobility kit?

Remove the wheel from the car to find the area needing to be fixed?

Any easy way to determine same with the wheel on the car? Listen for air escaping?

Just trying to figure out how I’d manage a flat with non-runflats with no spare…

The mobility kit includes two components. A compress can of Puncture Sealant and an air compressor.

You empty the sealant into the tire then you pump it up. No reason to remove the tire you can do it in place.

This will fix most punctures for long enough to get you to a tire shop. BTW: Tire stops hate this stuff - it gets all over their equipment.

You will not be able to fill a sidewall puncture with this kit.
