The problem with using any sealant is that it gets all over the rims, and if you not get the rim completely clean after application of a sealant, it will throw off the balance of the wheels. That said, I have used just the compressor to pump up the tire pressure when there have been small leaks, when the tire pressure warning light comes on, so I can make it to the tire center or dealership to patch my tire. But the problem with the M Mobility compressor, is that you need to run it from the car’s cigarette lighter, and the power cord only reaches so far. So what I have done is get a cordless air compressor, which looks like a cordless drill, and use that instead. Plenty different models, and I ended up getting the Robyi model on Amazon, which has an integrated air pressure gauge. Much easier to use than the M Mobility kit. BTW - the M Mobility kit for the M6, and I am not sure if the one pictured is that model, does fit in that covered space in the back of the trunk.

Appreciate the insight!
