Slime Safety Spair(TM) Eliminates Dangerous Flat Tire Situations; Minimizes
Need for Spare Tires
New Slime Safety Spair Offers One-Step Solution for Repairing Flat Tires
GROVER BEACH, CA -- November 19, 2008 -- Accessories Marketing, Inc. (AMI),
creator and manufacturer of Slime® Tire Sealant products, now offers the
Slime Safety Spair flat tire repair kit for motorists to quickly, easily
and safely repair flat tires as well as avoid dangerous and sometimes fatal
situations. The kit enables motorists to repair a flat tire in less than
ten minutes and is the safest emergency tire repair kit that completely
seals and completely inflates flat tires. Save time and money, not to
mention lives, by having the Slime Safety Spair onboard passenger vehicles.
The Slime Safety Spair offers a patented all-in-one solution containing a
bottle of Slime Safety Spair Tire Sealant attached to a powerful built-in
air compressor. At the push of a button, the Slime Safety Spair
simultaneously seals punctures up to 1/4-inch (6mm) and fully re-inflates
the tire in seven minutes without causing damage to the tire or the Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (unlike some aerosol sealants). By working in
conjunction with tire pressure monitors (which are mandatory in all 2008
and newer vehicles), blow-outs are prevented and repairs performed with the
Slime Safety Spair are guaranteed for up to 500 miles. The built-in tire
gauge makes it easy to determine when proper, safe operating pressure has
been achieved, eliminating dangerous under-inflation. The bright LED light
allows for safe nighttime use, and the durable canvas storage bag features
a reflective triangle warning to alert oncoming motorists.
"Slime Tire Sealant is the best quality sealant in the world for flat tire
prevention and repair for all types of tires," said Slime Executive Vice
President Rodney Cegelski. "We are proud to now offer tire-sensor safe
Slime brand sealant coupled with an air inflation source that provides a
fast, easy, safe one-step process for complete flat tire repair and proper
tire inflation. Not only are we saving tires, we are saving time, saving
injuries and saving lives."
The Slime Safety Spair is the smart solution for flat tires and makes the
hassles of spare tires, jacks and tools become obsolete. By removing the
spare tire and tools, motorists and auto manufacturers can reduce overall
weight of the vehicle by an average of 70 pounds, resulting in better fuel
efficiency and more usable space. After using the Safety Spair to repair
the flat tire, Slime recommends that the sealant be cleaned out at a
professional tire shop and the puncture repaired permanently for longer
use. With less of a need for spare tires, this ultimately means more tires
will remain in use on the road and out of landfills -- an
environmentally-friendly solution!
According to the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety-Roper Tire Care survey
conducted in 1999, 60 percent of motorists responded that they have had a
flat in the past five years. The same survey also found that one in five
motorists -- 35 percent of women -- say they couldn't change a tire if they
had a flat.
The Slime Safety Spair is the safe and effective alternative for flat tire
repair, and may be the best -- or only -- option in many situations,
including the following circumstances: spare tire is blocked by luggage
and/or tools; spare tire is flat, missing, worn-out or damaged; lug nuts
are locked; inclement weather conditions and/or dangerous location
(freeway, bridge, unlit or vacant road) make it unsafe to spend extended
periods of time outside the car; or spare tire does not fit properly with
new custom wheels and/or aftermarket brakes.
"Many motorists call for help with flat tires -- this adds at least another
30 minutes to the situation, often in dangerous conditions," said Slime
Marketing Director Joe Bowman. "Calling for roadside assistance or
attempting to replace the flat tire with the spare wastes valuable time and
can lead to injury. The Safety Spair helps save time and removes the high
risk of injuries."
After four years in the making and with hundreds of thousands of dollars
invested in research and development, the Slime Safety Spair is available
now for MSRP $59.95 which, for a limited time, includes one-year roadside
assistance and free refills of the Slime Safety Spair sealant (with paid
shipping). Please visit www.safetyspair.com to purchase the Slime Safety
