    However, at least there is a 12V tire inflator which could pump enough air into a tire without the slime to get to a station if the tire wasn't completely gone.

    i wish. you have to buy your own inflator if you hope to try that. and it would have to be a fairly slow leak. i have never had a flat in my 3 pri, but you know what they say...

    the vid is a good review tho, imagine getting stranded somewhere and having to try all that for the first time without seeing it done first?

    Rebound and Dobro informed me that the hose is attached to the goo, so the inflator cannot be used solely to inflate the tire with air. I did not realize this was the case. Will bring the Slime Digital 12V tire inflator in my GenII along on upcoming PIP road trip, just in case. We have SOS service, but if it is possible to roll into a station or repair shop, that would be less of a hassle.
