Hi,

My QV is the first car that I've owned that both doesn't come with a spare (comes with a patch fill kit instead) and also comes with run flats.

My 2 questions are:
Does the patch kit only work with run flats or will they work with any tire?
Do I even need to use the patch kit on the run flats or is it only for non run flat tires.

Thanks

The QV does not come with run flats.

I thought my dealer said they did. I will confirm again but I have what I believe are the standard Pirelli tires.

If in fact they don't come with run flats then I think that answers my question in that the tire patch kit will indeed work on non run flat tires

The dealer may have mixed up the base and Ti (they come with runflats) with the QV, which comes with super sticky Pirelli summer tires. Enjoy em while you got em, they don't last long.

That makes sense then.

The reason I ask is I'm going to buy blizzak winter tires and want to make sure the patch kit will work with them

Kit made for nonrunflats.

Yes, the Ti which comes with run flats doesn't have a tire inflator kit.

That’s the beauty of the Pirelli Corsa’s; they wear out so quickly they barely have time go flat :grin2:

The "patch kit" is simply slime in a can. It sucks and shouldn't be used. Better bet, get a plug kit. Something like this:

Then you can plug and inflate till you can get to a tire shop to do a permanent repair. Anything slime will fix, that kit will.

I agree once you use that slime it’s a mess to clean up. Not worth it if you have other options.
