Do you have a source for this?

As far as I can tell most sealants are just water, latex, fibers to help plug holes, and some sort of an anti-freeze.

For example, here's the msds for a can of that slime brand emergency tire repair stuff

key points:

Yeah, rubber solidifies when exposed to air, the trick is getting it to be in the right configuration when that happens.

I have these stock, efficient rear end tires on my car. I want some winter tires, maybe not snow tires, but something grippier. It seems like the stock tires are pretty good, efficient, smooth and long lasting for summer drives.

I'm open to suggestions, I'm pretty ignorant about tires. Thanks.

Suggestion: when the people who you want suggestions from ask you for the MODEL NAME of the tires you have, don�t just say �I already said there�re OEM tires� or �look at my other posts� and instead post the model name of the tires.

This is one of those times where having 4 different tires on one car is a vast improvement.

Well yeah, it's a car, not a unicycle.
