Slime Flat Tyre Puncture Repair Plus, A complete emergency tyre repair kit, containing a tyre inflator and 650ml sealant While extremely useful for getting you to a garage, the Slime Emergency Tubeless Sealant needs to be removed after 3 days or 100 miles, so it’s only a temporary measure.

No attempt should be made to repair a hole larger than 6 mm in diameter or a cut or hole in a sidewall with these products. Your only option is to replace the tire with that kind of damage. You’ll then need to connect the compressor. This may connect to the tyre valve directly or to the bottle of sealant to help pump the sealant in. The way its supposed to work on an non-sound-deadening tire is that after you remove the nail, the sealant is injected through the air valve along with the air from the pump. It then pools at the bottom of the tire (but the foam is in the way with a Tesla Tire) so when you drive off the sealant coats the entire inner surface of the tire, ON A NORMAL CAR. The air will then force the GOO sealant to enter the hole and plug it up...theoretically! (BTW, it's not permanent and the tire will need to be professionally repaired or replaced) If you don’t fancy leaving the house for your new tyre, or need to fit it around your job, why not let us come to you at your home or workplace? Our Halfords Mobile Experts can replace your tyre at the office or right on your driveway, 7 days a week, so you can relax and let us do the hard work for you. Based on these tests, I would buy a tire repair kit with a compressor to keep in the trunk,” says Ryan Pszczolkowski, a tire technician at Consumer Reports. “But you can’t beat a true spare tire as a solution to any tire problem.”A post-puncture sealant like the one found in the Slime Smart Tyre Repair Kit is injected into your tyre after a puncture, to plug the hole and allow you to reinflate your tyre. This should give you enough time and mileage to get home or to the nearest garage for a repair. Punctures can be unavoidable and they often happen when you least expect it. Due to the fact that most modern cars don’t come with a spare wheel, it’s highly advised that you keep a tyre sealant within your car for any roadside repairs. Slime have been experts in puncture sealants for over thirty years, and their Smart Tyre Puncture Repair Kit is ideal if you’re faced with a flat tyre – it’ll seal the puncture so that you can safely travel to your local Halfords garage to get it repaired. Getting a puncture How do I know if I’ve got a puncture? The Slime sealant locates and instantly repairs punctures up to 6mm in diameter, and its water-based formula means that it’s environmentally friendly and easy to wash away. Plus, the tyre inflator is handy for other inflatables and comes in a zippered bag for easy storage in the boot. Can punctures be permanently repaired? If the damage is beyond repair, then it’s time for a new tyre. Here at Halfords, we’re experts in fitting and maintaining tyres, with over 600 garages nationwide to get you moving again.

The Slime Assist Car Tyre Sealant is ideal as it’s likely a lot cheaper than the manufacturers’ replacement, and e. It can be used with any tyre inflator, and you don’t even need to remove your tyre’s valve core – just connect the sealant’s hose to your tyre, and your inflator to the sealant bottle, and the air will push the slime straight into the tyre whilst reinflating it! Run-flat tires sound great in concept. When punctured, they provide extended mobility in a “limp-home” mode at reduced speed and for a limited distance, much like a temporary spare tire—without the need to perform the dirty task of changing the tire. But run-flats can contribute to a firmer ride in general, and they are often expensive to replace and difficult to find in a hurry. Once you’re satisfied that you’ve repaired the tyre using the kit, drive your car to the nearest garage or tyre fitters to replace the tyre. A tyre that's been repaired with sealant will almost always need replacing, however small the puncture was. A flat tyre is usually easy to spot with your eyes, but what if you’re driving? Well, there are a few warning signs to look out for to alert you to a punctured tyre while you’re on the move. These include: In a pinch, a pressurized can sealant may be able to fix a small hole and allow the car to limp to the tire store for a full repair or tire replacement, provided you have a compressor to top off the tire pressure. The better investment is a tire sealant kit that has the ability to fix a punctured tire and inflate it to the recommended pressure as specified by your car’s tire information placard found on the driver’s door jamb. In addition, the kits evaluated can be safely stowed in the car, even a hot car. On a vacation, or during a busy day, a tire repair kit with a compressor would allow you to continue on route. They cost more, but based on our experience, the price is worthwhile.

If you can’t get to a garage, or just want the convenience of not having to leave your house, let us come to you.
