flat repair goo- what'd you replace with?
Had a puncture last night and made it to a tire repair shop where they recommended the repair goo in the frunk. It ended up working perfectly, to my surprise. What are replacing the stuff with? I don't necessarily need to replace with P branded bottle.

Wait. What? You made it to the repair shop and they had you use the Porsche flat repair kit?
Did I miss something? Why didn't they patch the tire?
I don't think it's a permanent fix.

they said it was too close to sidewall for inside patch. plug risked more damage to tire. Crazy thing is that I was putting on winter tires TODAY and scrapping the punctured set! So, I made it 40 miles home, tire was still inflated fine this a.m.
And the puncture culprit? A plastic ink pen. I must have caught it just right.
