As part of a project, I've bought this item today. And removed the spare wheel. I've read the back of this product, it says 'No Tools Needed' and realise it's a temporary solution in case of a puncture.

What I need to know is whether, to use this product, you still require your car jack?

Thanks

No - you deflate your tyre then hook the cannister onto the valve and it fill the tyre up with air and goo.

However, be warned that they are as good as useless...your puncture will either be so small (ie. slow puncture) that just re-inflating it will do the job, or it'll be too large for the weld to fix.

Thanks Rob. Won't be travelling on long journeys without the Spare. But too and from work on short journeys, I hope Tyre Weld will be enough.

Nasty stuff.

It's only good for upto 30mph IIRC, and I was always under the impression the tyre would have to be replaced - IE no chance of a repair for a nail.

I would never run a tyre, that's been repaired. So, aslong as it get's me out of trouble for a few moments. That should be fine.

Upto 50mph, and it doesn't automatically prevent the tyre from being repaired, though you definitely always need a new valve...

I have no issues with a nail hole being done, but only once per tyre, and only if straight in. Any other damage, and it's a new tyre.

But the question has to be, how TF does a nail stand up on the road to enter a tyre in the first place?

It could be lying down, then hitting the head will automatically tip it over.

The other issue that no-one's touched on with tyre goos is the difficulty of cleaning them off the wheel rim!

BTW Gadgetman, as long as the tyre wasn't "run flat" either time, why would you onject to patching a second nail hole?

Many tyre places round here only seem to do one repair on a tyre. Bit like glass firms only doing 3 chip repairs I guess.

, why would you onject to patching a second nail hole?

Patching :eek: Surely you mean drilling and pluging:thumbup: Still I wouldnt object to more than one repair altough it would start to get cost inefective.

NTDA used to rec; no more than 3 repairs to the tyre using the "plug" method, however it doesn`t really matter how many times its repaired;)

With using the tyre weld you do then render the tyre useless as you cannot fully remove the slime/glue so no patch will stick to the rubber even after buffing:eek:

HTH

Phil ..........one of only 4 Pirelli Gold fitting centers (Merityre has 3):P

As I mentioned above. I would never dream of using a repaired tyre, even though it maybe minor.

Cheers for the help!
