What ya think?

chrysler experimented with run-flats on the crossfire. the ride was too harsh.
the best thing you can do to keep your crossfire going if you get a flat is to buy a tire repair kit for around $8 (plug tool(s), vulcanized rubber plugs, and rubber cement). then you can just use your compressor to reinflate the tire and drive on. the bottle of tire sealant will only seal very small holes and not nearly as well as a plug. it may also damage your tire pressure sensors and tire valves. not to mention a new bottle will cost around $60. keep a pair of inexpensive needle nosed pliers in your car as well to remove nails/screws in the tread of your tire if you need to perform a repair.
