It's possibly the identical kit. Mine is Continental branded and comes in an insert that fits in the boot recess to the left rear of the car and has a little holder for the locking wheel nut. I always thought that was standard ...

Shh, don't say the A word... :telloff:
That was my concern as well. However, I called their product info number and talked to them about this and they claim that will not be an issue. They have a calculator where you enter in your tire size and you are given the exact amount of their product to inject into your tire. Because their product is rather expensive I don't want to put this into existing tires that are going to need replacement soon. I am going to try it on the new winter tires I am planning on buying and putting on my Zed this coming November.markeg said:WLH said:
My wife has this on her car (well, a similar product in the UK). They don't recommend it for low profile tyres due to the reinforcing banding on the wheel innards - the solution stays fluid inside the tyre and can set up vibration due to imbalance, so I don't have it on my car....
Likewise, I didn't ever get any punctures or windscreen chips then suddenly had two punctures in a year (both co-incidentally after driving through contra-flows where you had to use the hard shoulder...).
Similarly in the 4 years I lived in England I had two replacement windscreens and enough chip repairs that the Autoglass man in Cambridge used to recognise me and know where to find me by the car registration. What surprised me was how many stone chips etc were actually caused by oncoming traffic (local quarry trucks in numerous cases) and not from cars I was following.
ETA I was going to buy the tyre slime option, but I've ended up with free gunk and compressor from a Subaru Outback. Checked the wheel size & canister volume and seemed enough to fill an MV2. The kit was the standard in the new Outback, but the buyer bought a proper spare wheel instead so the kit was free to me.

I carry both a BMW compact spare and a repair kit (plug type)
