But what if you can PUNCTURE-PROOF the tyres in the first place? The 'Ultraseal/Puncturesafe'
http://puncturesafe.co.uk/flashintro.html and 'Ride-On' products
http://www.ride-on-uk.com/- and there may be others - are designed for immediate and permanent self-sealing of tread-wall punctures up to 6mm, the most common type of puncture by far, wouldn't you say.... **No puncture repair is required... ever**. Blowout likelihood is reduced, too - they claim. Of course, sidewall cuts or slashes are a different matter - but what's the likelihood compared to a straightforward puncture?
Install for the life of the tyre - and on fitting new ones it simply washes out with water, it is claimed. There are a lot of busy, fast or narrow road situations where IMO it is dangerous to change a wheel - even adding Honda's temporary fix aerosol gunk could be hazardous. (And don't you have to jack the car to add that? Jack, add the gunk, then air... ? )
I've had no experience whatsoever of this PUNCTURE-PREVENTION stuff but I am tempted to try it. Come time to renew my tyres I'd test it (near the tyre shop) by running over a nail. Anyone had any experience of it? Or know anyone who uses?
