Those aerosol tyre repair/inflater thingies

Hi, I would guess that he didnt spin the wheel immediatly to spread the liquid around , I was a motor cycle tyre fitter for 20 years also do a lot of outback motor cycle touring, it even works on tubed tyres on the bikes.
It was originally called "SSSHush". but I think " Slime " is better ,put in before you go, we have used " SSSHush " and then topped up the air with the CO2 bottle kit.
compressor would be needed for 4x4 tyre,

You should never use any of these products as a permanent fix.
e.g. Large nail trough tread but angled as to rub against inner sidewall,eventually it will wear through the side wall resulting in a blow- out.(hopefully not at high speed)
Have been in the tyre game for many years & have seen this all to often!
Have a safe Christmas,

I agree F4

we used a slime in the norh west in tyres for graders was put in

when new saved a lot of down time with punctures.

we took tyre of after months to find heaps of stakes in tyre

Fazz, I am sure you know a tone more about tyres than me but I would be taking the nail and letting the slime fill the gap, I dont think your supposed to leave the stakes in.

Dave, Yeah I started using it on push bikes and eventually they made it for cars, and now it seems graders. In fact where I used to work we got bikes from china, we eventually made them put the slime in at the factory so that all our new bikes had slime in both tyres from new. I think its a great idea. Also if the puncture ever fails in the same spot (the hard bit of slime gets moved or wears away) again the slime fixes it again for the life of the tyre without you even knowing.

F4, that's the problem people don't pull the nail out or don't know why the tyre went down in the first place & that problem nail has eventually cut through numerous cords.

Just out of interest it is an illegal repair method as is plugging, and yet there are a couple of car manufactures that supply a can of the material in place of a spare wheel? Go figure??

Merry Xmas all,

It was originally introduced some years ago as a repair method for SLOW moving vehicles. e.g. don't have a problem with Graders, Mowers, Tractors etc.

They work on tubed tyres also,

20 odd years ago the graders had tubes and we used it on the

utes 7.50 x 16 with tubes.

Up until 12 months ago we sold tubes at the auto parts shop

with the goo already in
