The M-mobility kit and the conti comfort kit are both latex sealant/pump solutions. Its important to find a kit that uses only latex sealant. The green slime kits are messy/difficult to clean off and causes your wheel to vibrate at speed. The OEM M-mobility kit is extra nice as it has a seperate tube for sealant and air and the sealant is easily replaceable via stand alone catridges. The downside is it's not cheap! RFTs are not a solution to all. Certain tire failure also renders the RFTs useless for e.g. when your sidewall is thrashed. Also keep in mind the limited range of the RFTs. If your tire failure occurs out in the boondocks and the nearest RFT center is beyond the range you're equally SOL. And then there's the availability issue.... If you're switching out from RFTs I recommend the M-mobility kit. If you're going out of town, I recommend throwing in a spare wheel set in the trunk in addition to the mobility kit. As mentioned, switching out to non RFT is cheaper to maintain and improves ride comfort. In particular it dampens the initial shock/crash when hitting potholes/bumps before the dampers/springs kicks in. You'd also reduce unsprung weight. I would keep those 193Ms on though, the OEM wheels, though heavy are very robust. Also, there are far better non RFT choices out there e.g. Michelin PS2s etc etc.</blockquote>
