Quick Fix Tyre RepairCar Pride

Good price... another make used to be available in a smaller size I have this for my bicycles (one uses "tubs" a tyre that can't be repaired or replaced at the road side) this has got me home more than once. I have used this type of product in the past on a car and a motorcycle well worth having it inflates the tyre to a usable pressure you need to finish pumping up to the correct pressure asap the "foam" plugs the puncture. If the driver can't change a wheel at the road side this should be in the car... The downside is most places will NOT repair a tyre once a product like this has been used, the reason is the amount of time needed to clean the tyre well enough to make a safe repair (who pays for the labour) plus it could be argued that it was not a safe repair due to the sealant being there in the event of the repaired tyre failing they would be open to a claim, so garages just say it can't be repaired the patch and glue won't work because of the sealant - it's a new tyre. But it should keep you going rather than stopped at the road side.

Punctures are always a problem no matter when they occur. Mine seem to always occur late at night in pouring rain !!!This can sprays a sealant into the type and has enough gas to inflate it. These cans of puncture repair have saved my life on many occasions.They work on small and simple punctures quite well but not on large rips or side wall damage, if this occurs I'm afraid no system works except for changing the wheel or calling the AA or RAC.My new car does not have a spare wheel and comes with one of these cans instead. I just hope any punctures I get are simple and that this will fix it.Once you have used this to inflate a wheel it is best to get an expert to check the type at the earliest convenience as you don't know how sound the fix is until it is checked. I normally replace the type after a puncture and using this inflation can.Overall.A life saver if you have a small puncture but don't use it on wall damage as it does not work in my experience.

I always keep a fresh one in my Boot now but used one on my Previous Car (Volvo). When my Volvo got a flat it was just as well I had this handy as the Wheel Nuts were on solid & required a trip to the Garage just to loosen them! These work great esp. as Winter approaches - you do not want to be messing at the side of the road with Car Jacks & wheel Braces.* A cautionary tale though.- there might not be enough Air Pressure in the Can to inflate your tyre to a Comfortable Driving Level, as it can be a rather messy affair with air and product loss at the valve intake when initiating!? Make sure it is seated on the valve as securely as possible, but even with some loss the stuff that you do manage to get 'inside' the tyre will be enough to seal the leak.**And my other tip - try to keep some kind of tyre inflator in your boot so you can add more air to the tyre immediately after applying this Product (or get to a Garage Forecourt and use their Air Facilities).p.s. I actually drove around on the same tyre after using this for Months without a problem - though the manufacturer does NOT recommend this :)

I am marking this as ok as it is my first one, God it's small but as i have seen in the shops it's an average sized one, i have two motorcycles, a 600 bandit and a 125 moped, The moped had a slow puncture and i used this, it did the job and got me home, if i had been on the bandit i'd have been searching for a garage as well to help inflate the tyre, If you have a wide motorcycle tyre or using a car buy two per tyre at least!P.S This is not a bad review,It is advice for those who have but so far have not used one, This will not inflate a car tyre so you can drive on to your destination, It might give you a bit of air that MIGHT take your wheel rim off the floor but look for a garage with an air hose at once!

This product performed as well as a similar item I had bought, which was just under £10, in an identical tin and looked the same as it shot through the tube.I had just changed over to my Winter rims fitted with snow tyres. The rims are old alloys, and two were leaking air because of corrosion.I could have gone to the tyre fitter and asked them to take the wheels off and seal them, but this would have cost over £10 with no guarantee of working.Thankfully this tyre repair foam found all of the little gaps and sealed the tyres well.One can won't fully inflate a completely flat tyre, so you will have to pump it up as well.Wear gloves to keep it off your hands, and if possible hold a piece of rag over the valve when using it to stop any foam squirting out onto you.Anyone complaining about not being able to repair the tyre after using this - it's water based, and I'm pretty sure it said on the tin that the tyre can be repaired.

Bought 2 of these due to the reviews. I had one puncture to fix so I attempted to use the first can. Foam just spilled out ot the top of the can, not down the hose into the wheel. Noticed that the nozzle on the can was bent so was unusable. Thought luckily I had the second can. Followed the instructions to the tee. Must admit I thought as its foam and you fill the tyre without the valve in and its pressurised, how does the foam stay in when you remove the tube? My aprehension was correct, I removed the tube and got covered in the foam. I thought Christmas had come early! Theres no way you can re-insert the tiny valve whilst the foam is 'blowing' out of the tyre. Pathetic solution. I assumed wrongly that it was a gel like I 've used before and you simply inflate the tyre when the gel is inside the tyre. Won't be buying this type of solution again.
