ccrossfire,
i used the entire bottle of sealant but a bunch of it shot through the hole in the tire. initially, i didn't read the instruction that suggests driving backward and forward 30 feet to disperse the sealant better to the hole. i was just litening to air rushing out of the hole for the most part. after i moved the car back and forth, the sealant was dripping from the hole. when i turned the compressor back on, it looked like it was starting to hold pressure but then the sealant started shooting out of the hole like a geyser. i would imagine that the sealant remaining in the tire is distributed somewhat evenly. i haven't noticed any problems with the balance. what worries me more is whether there is the possibility of doing any damage to the valve pressure sensor in that wheel. interestingly, several hours later after i awoke from a brief rest stop nap, the low pressure light came on. i was worried that the repair had failed. ironically, the left rear was around 34 psi, exactly where i asked the service guy to set it, but the left front was only 26 or so. the other two tires were around 28 psi. i then realized why this had occured. the repaired tire was filled when the air temp was 45 F. the other 3 tires were probably set at around 30 psi by the dealer. of course orlando temps probably range 60-80F this time of year so the tire pressures would drop in the cold. when i awoke from my nap all the tires had cooled sufficiently (it was only 32 F), and the sensor was most likely detecting the significant difference in pressure of the two left tires (e.g. 25% as specified in the manual). i went to a gas station and added air to the other three tires. i think Chrystine (as I may call her) was expecting to spend the rest of her life in Florida. I keep having to remind her that if she were really intended to stay there she would not have come with heated seats. :lol:
