where can I pickup some tirefit supplies? - SLK32
I'm sure if I ask Benz here, it'd be astronomical.
But my tirefit juice bottle is missing in this new (2nd hand vehicle) and I need to get some.
It says you attach it to the pump and the pump pumps it through the valve...yes?
Any links for purchase - althought I'm not sure if they can ship this stuff internationally though...hmmm...
BTW - noticed you X-fire guys run a different rim/tyre setup to the SLK32...
Whereas SLK's run 17's all 'round
FRONT TIRES 225/45ZR17
REAR TIRES 245/40ZR17
they must have reset the Odometer ratio on the SRT for the bigger circumference - probably changes the whole nature of the car and grip.
I have noticed the suspension on the R170 SLK32 with 17's is a lot more "spongier" than it's sister R170 SLK230 with 17's.

I think the concensus on this forum is to carry just the pump and a tubeless tire repair kit.
It has been discussed that the goop bottle will work in an emergency, but you will have to soon replace that tire, as the goop makes it impossible to balance thereafter....
In case you aren't familiar, the tubeless tire repair consists of a T handle, some rubber plug strips, a file thing for roughing up the hole, and some rubber glue. ( also a good idea to have a knife or some wire cutters to remove the external excess plug.
That's my opinion, others are welcome to disagree .......

Don't put the green goop in your tire. It is not worth the problems it creates. If you do happen to put it in make sure you tell your tire shop as it can serious problems.
Best thing to do is use an air pump to get home or to the shop. If that does not suffice tow it to the tire shop.

Thnaks guys.
I'll have to check that my pump attaches to the valve okay and test run a couple of psi - logged the ebay item - much appreciated all.
