After using the slime can the tire be fixed by a garage and reused? Or is the tire trashed (unfixable)?

not convinced the slime does anything but clog up air valve. i'm pretty sure the tire can be cleaned up and patched at a tire shop (assuming it could be even without the slime)
the air pump is really high quality and worth the purchase by itself..

From the FAQ "Yes. As long as the puncture is in the repairable area of the tire and the tire is in good condition, it can be professionally repaired with a U.S. Tire Manufacturers Association approved patch/plug at your earliest convenience. Inform the shop technician that Slime is in the tire.

Defends on the flat....condition and did you run on it after it was flat. Example : you run over a nail and it punctured the road artea of the tire, then yes it probally a fixable tire and you can contiue using it. But if the puncture was in the side wall area, then no. Because a tire wouldnt fix it and become liable if it blows out again.

Yes, the tire is still usable if a shop can repair the leak. It is nice to let the shop know you have put slime in the tire. Will avoid a BIG mess for them.
