I leased a Chevy Volt and
I leased a Chevy Volt and when it had about 700 miles on the car I caught a nail in the tire. The tire's air pressure sensors worked great and i was able to pull off the highway safely. Also the Onstar service was great as an operator popped on and asked if I was OK, and then ordered towing. But the car came with an air compressor with tire goop and I unfortunately used it and soon goop was all over the ground and the tire was still flat. Because the nail was in the tread the tire guy said that he could have easily and cheaply patched or plugged the nearly new tire, but I ended up having to buy a new tire for $170 because once gooped, the tire is usually not repairable. And that was the last time that I will use the goop inflation kit ever again. I have gotten many more nails in tires over the years and except for sidewall damaged tires, the rope/tar plugs have been a great and easy home tire repair, for me.
