Default LC500 tire repair kit?

I heard the 2024 LC500 comes with a tire repair kit and was wondering if it would be compatible with Michelin Super sports? Is it worth the $200 price tag?

^^^^Not in the MY2024s. And not if the owner of an earlier model year replaced the RFTs with non RFTs.

Good luck. My Slime experience with motorcycle tires was hit or miss. Your tire tech will curse you, probably charge you extra for clean up as Slime makes a hella mess. I cannot see the Slime doing TPMS sensors any good.
If you are that intent on getting out of the car, getting all sweaty and grooty and maybe fixing the tire, I'd get a goopy rope plug kit instead on that Slime crap.
I'll be sure and wave as I drive by on my run flats.

Spot on Bruce. I learned the hard way years ago when I dumped the run-flats on my SC430. Now carry a jack, portable compressor, and high end plug kit. Havent had to use it yet, but if you can roll the tire, ie, jack you can fix 95% of flats. As far as getting dirty, it beats hell out of waiting on AAA or $200 tow.
