Title: Service Tire Mobility Kit
Post by: vernonator on December 15, 2015, 08:55:55 AM
Had this message pop up today when I started the SHO "Service Tire Mobility Kit". I have a 2012 w/PP so no spare. Doing a bit of searching and it seems the "foam" canister has a shelf life of 4 yrs. Anyone replace theirs? Anyone have a source other then the dealer? Cost? Bueller? Bueller?

Thanks guys!!!

If your looking for the tire sealant only check out this link and hope it helps any.  Z     http://www.ebay.com/itm/BRAND-NEW-FORD-LINCOLN-MERCURY-OEM-TIRE-INFLATION-LIQUID-SEALANT-AG1Z-1568-A-/321835841417?hash=item4aeee93789:g:M9cAAOSwLVZV0jp0&vxp=mtr (http://www.ebay.com/itm/BRAND-NEW-FORD-LINCOLN-MERCURY-OEM-TIRE-INFLATION-LIQUID-SEALANT-AG1Z-1568-A-/321835841417?hash=item4aeee93789:g:M9cAAOSwLVZV0jp0&vxp=mtr)     BTW you can go under settings on your dash and try to reset the tire mobility year factor from 1-4 and try selecting a different number,also there should be an expiration date on the canister.  Z

Is that all the tire mobility kit is... just a can of foam?

It's a can of foam tire sealant and a compressor, good for a nail puncture but not a catastrophic failure.

Don't use the foam!  It's not good for your tires. The compressor on the other hand, I found to be very handy for filling up bike, stroller, and car tires.

well, if one is in need to use the foam, chances are that that tire is not good anyway and will need to be replaced. Anyhow, I would not trust a patched tire on my car, especially on a long trip.
