Is Stop & Go, the best product on the market to fix a flat? Or is there anything else better.
Thanks,

Steel-belted radials can sometimes cut the rubber mushroom plug used by the Stop-N-Go.
Best fix would be to dismount the tire and use a through-the-inside patch plug.

Now that you've clarified this is fpr a temporary on-the-road fix, I myself use the Stop-N-Go with great success.
Others swear by the plain old "sticky rope" kit you can find at most any auto store.

Sorry about that. I should have been more clear.
Thanks for all the information. I will get the Stop & Go and I will also get the strips, just to have two options.
Thanks again for your help.

Quite welcome.
P.S. For tire inflation, most recommend a compact air compressor over CO2 cartridges. Slime makes a very good one.

Good to know.
I will check and see if Auto Zone in my area sells this pump, if not, I will order it online.
I hope I never have to use any of these items, but you just never know.

Yeah the Slime kit works very nice. Compact, and comes with a variety of power connectors. I just plug mine into the Battery tender SAE plug the couple times I've used it.
