Fix-a-flat and Z-rated tires

Why exactly can't fix-a-flat be used on z-rated tires? It says it on the side of the can, but I'm looking for an explanation. Thanks.

Because it says not to.

Hah, not too sure about that... I have a couple friends who have used it in the past on there Z-Rated tires, but at the time tires didn't last any of us more than a month or so, lol.

You shouldn't use fix-a-flat on Z rated tires for the same reason you shouldn't use it on any tire. Carry a spare around and take your flat tires to the shop, some of them will plug them for free.
