White jiss everywhere and still a flat tire. I had to get a 100 miles tow to the nearest dealership, which of course, has to order the tire. Three questions:
1) can I use A Mercedes SLK "donut" spare?
2) How can I make sure the tire filler is functional before I need it?
3) Any other alternative tire fillers that might work with these low-profile Michelin pilot PS 2s?

Thanks.
