Okay using tire sealant is better than being stuck with a flat tire. But Tire sealant is awful. The sealant makes a mess. The tire sealant can also damage TPMS sensors. All in all a tire plug kit and compressor is a much better option to make a quick tire repair.

What do you recommend for a slow leak that needs filling every 2-3 days?
That’s why you always have an extra tire plug kit somewhere you normally don’t go into
A kit of tyre repair laces,Perfect
Pancake mix
Who tf put milk in they tire every time😂
Fix-a-flat can also clog/damage TPMS sensors which are expensive to replace
If it’s just a nail or small hole superglue works..
$5 at harbor freight for a tire plug kit.
If the nail, or whatever is still in the tire and not causing an immediate hazard: leave it in until you can get to the tire shop. It will usually seal the hole well enough to keep from going completely flat, especially if you are able to add air right away.
Most repair shops won’t even repair a tire that someone used sealant on, i know mine doesn’t
