(AMI),creator and manufacturer of Slime® Tire Sealant products, now offers theSlime Safety Spair flat tire repair kit for motorists to quickly, easilyand safely repair flat tires as well as avoid dangerous and sometimes fatalsituations. The kit enables motorists to repair a flat tire in less thanten minutes and is the safest emergency tire repair kit that completelyseals and completely inflates flat tires. Save time and money, not tomention lives, by having the Slime Safety Spair onboard passenger vehicles.

The Slime Safety Spair offers a patented all-in-one solution containing abottle of Slime Safety Spair Tire Sealant attached to a powerful built-inair compressor. At the push of a button, the Slime Safety Spairsimultaneously seals punctures up to 1/4-inch (6mm) and fully re-inflatesthe tire in seven minutes without causing damage to the tire or the TirePressure Monitoring System (unlike some aerosol sealants). By working inconjunction with tire pressure monitors (which are mandatory in all 2008and newer vehicles), blow-outs are prevented and repairs performed with theSlime Safety Spair are guaranteed for up to 500 miles. The built-in tiregauge makes it easy to determine when proper, safe operating pressure hasbeen achieved, eliminating dangerous under-inflation. The bright LED lightallows for safe nighttime use, and the durable canvas storage bag featuresa reflective triangle warning to alert oncoming motorists.

"Slime Tire Sealant is the best quality sealant in the world for flat tireprevention and repair for all types of tires," said Slime Executive VicePresident Rodney Cegelski. "We are proud to now offer tire-sensor safeSlime brand sealant coupled with an air inflation source that provides afast, easy, safe one-step process for complete flat tire repair and propertire inflation. Not only are we saving tires, we are saving time, savinginjuries and saving lives."

The Slime Safety Spair is the smart solution for flat tires and makes thehassles of spare tires, jacks and tools become obsolete. By removing thespare tire and tools, motorists and auto manufacturers can reduce overallweight of the vehicle by an average of 70 pounds, resulting in better fuelefficiency and more usable space. After using the Safety Spair to repairthe flat tire, Slime recommends that the sealant be cleaned out at aprofessional tire shop and the puncture repaired permanently for longeruse. With less of a need for spare tires, this ultimately means more tireswill remain in use on the road and out of landfills -- anenvironmentally-friendly solution!

According to the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety-Roper Tire Care surveyconducted in 1999, 60 percent of motorists responded that they have had aflat in the past five years. The same survey also found that one in fivemotorists -- 35 percent of women -- say they couldn't change a tire if theyhad a flat.

The Slime Safety Spair is the safe and effective alternative for flat tirerepair, and may be the best -- or only -- option in many situations,including the following circumstances: spare tire is blocked by luggageand/or tools; spare tire is flat, missing, worn-out or damaged; lug nutsare locked; inclement weather conditions and/or dangerous location(freeway, bridge, unlit or vacant road) make it unsafe to spend extendedperiods of time outside the car; or spare tire does not fit properly withnew custom wheels and/or aftermarket brakes.

"Many motorists call for help with flat tires -- this adds at least another30 minutes to the situation, often in dangerous conditions," said SlimeMarketing Director Joe Bowman. "Calling for roadside assistance orattempting to replace the flat tire with the spare wastes valuable time andcan lead to injury. The Safety Spair helps save time and removes the highrisk of injuries."
