Tyre Sealants

Jack,

Any auto outlet should stock this, or try motorbike place. There are a couple of different brands, try Super Cheap.

If the tyre is a tubeless, put some soapy water around the valve stem, the slow leak sounds like that. We had to do one recently, and it was the stem. Leaked so slowly that you could do a 5 hour return trip to town, and only lose 1-2 psi. Remove old stem, and put in a newy.

Hooroo...

The only experiance i have had with this sort of product was when i was a into two wheel off roading and i wished i had saved my money. Better off taking it to a tyre place to fix probably cost about the same..........Dazz

Jack,
If you can it's better to get the leak fixed properly, if you put that goo inside the tyre after a while or in a hot environment the goo will slump inside the tyre and cause imbalance. The sealant is like last resort in my opinion, when you are stuck somewhere. If you have time to get it fixed properly I think it would be wise to do so. The sealants are good and reliable, a good back stop but they have their place. Keep the shiny side up

Jack, ARB sell a plug kit for that sort of thing, I'm not entirely sure but i dont think the process is legal in most States in OZ. Its $110 and has about 30 sticky wick looking things(the plugs), works a treat, ive used mine about 4 times, its basically paid itself off now. It can also be used in multiple plugs for bigger holes and you can plug holes without removing the wheel and you can pump it up and drive off, no waiting. Cant think of the name of it. Hope this helps regards Michael

Hi
They don't sell these "plugs" for tubeless tyres here in the UK - can anyone give me a brand name of the recomended product to research/buy?

enzo The kit I have is a German brand Rema Tip Top. In my opion its the best kit avalable.

It has to be stressed that these plugs, while being excellent for emergency use, are not suitable as permanent repairs. As soon as you can you should have the tyre repaired. The plugs have saved us countless wheel changes, and have kept us going when we have run out of spare wheels.
