Tirefit replacement

I tried using my Tirefit sealant and pump to fix a flat but no such luck. I ended up have to replace the tire but now I wanted to get a new can of Tirefit to put back in the truck. Any source for this other than the dealer? The cheapest I found is $165 on Ebay.

You might want to check out the different SLIME products. A 16oz bottle of slime (6.99) and your 12v compressor and you are back in business. As a matter of fact they have two packaged seal and inflate kits that would basically replace the whole tirefit sealant kit (including the 12v air compressor).
1 - Smart Spare Flat Tire Repair Kit 29.99
2 - Safety Spare Flat Tire Repair System 59.99

Money better spent is to get a plug kit. Might be $10 - $20, and they work.

In my wife's ML that has no spare, I have a plug kit, fix-a-flat (2 cans) and a 12 volt compressor. Luckily we haven't had to use it yet.

Thanks for all the suggestions. Given what I know now I would have carried a regular can of fix a flat in the car and will from now on but I was still hoping to get a new bottle of the proper stuff to make the car complete.
