Holy Tyres

I shall look that one up

Cheers Rob

Not sure they make it now Paul, I can't find it online.

I bet it’s so old, you found that can in your garden air raid shelter Rob

I use this in my van tyres.

Air-Seal Products Ltd - Tyre Sealant

Air-Seal Products Ltd provides high-performance tyre sealant liquids: Heavy Duty seals up to 15mm, Armour-Seal up to 30mm, boosting tyre life & removing downtime.

Does it work, don't know as I have not had any punctures in the 8 or so years since I had it installed at Wells tyres Bangor Co. Down.
Can I alter my tyre pressures, yes, in other words it does not gunk the valves. In fact it is pumped into the tyres via the valves. They recommend you have your tyres balanced before applying.
It does not impact on my Tyrepal monitors.
It is available online for self install, and my front tyres (which have it) will be replaced and air seal put in. Probably by DIY this time.

Yep, that looks good & looking like it’s for Road use as well because Lorries us it

I don't read the Sun Trev and when I did I didn't believe much of what was written just like I don't on Motorhome forums. But the foam repair is a get you home job and tyres filled with it should not be used at over 50mph max. (some advise 30mph).

I only used it to stop a very slow beed leek Rob, not a flat wheel etc, does the job.

That's fair enough Trev, but I wouldn't risk too far or fast on a tyre with a hole in it repaired with foam.

Prob a plug would be best if it was a big nail etc.

So,
I’ve always had 5000-7,500kg Tag Axel or Twin wheel live in vehicles over the last 15 years or so that I’ve been living this lifestyle, & had my fair share of Punctures over this time as a fair few of my favourite park ups are in Farmers yards (with Permission), less used Lay-bys, well out the way Tracks or in Woods & or Forrest’s. Never really been a problem before because I could limp to safety to deal with the issue after a cuppa.

Now THIS vehicle’MO’ is the first 4 wheeler I’ve had, & Yep a few weeks ago -
View attachment 145790

Now MO has got a Fat arse at over 4000kg & as these things often happen in the Wind, Rain or Snow & of course in the dark I hate the idea of fumbling & Flaying about under it & adding an injury to the issue.
So I’ve been thinking of this Slime gunk or similar as a preventative or rather emergency plug for punctures.
HOWEVER I believe that there advertised for ‘OFF Road tyres’.
Any thoughts guys

The answer is a product called "puncture-safe" injected through the valve "before any puncture" and self seals the puncture safe for motorcycles up to 120 mph, there is a commercial grade available for heavy goods/ M, homes, just google "puncture-safe" you will be impressed

 

[Nesting Zombie]

Yep, They are one of the companies I’ve already contacted.
Thanks.
As you say I’m impressed

What I have noticed is, at least TWO of these companies claim to supply’Royal Mail’ fleet vehicles.
So I’m guessing it’s actually the came company or Franchise.

I’m still awaiting reply to my emails.

 

[Nesting Zombie]

Soooo,
Just heard back from an Engineering Consultant at ‘Air-Seal’ & Blinking hell,,,
Blown away by not only the expected Knowledge & Detailed information for Quantity & installation of product, But the EXCELLENT price. In fact it’s SO cheap I’m buying enough for myself & another Livaboard friend as a Present.
I’m paying £171 for 4 Bottles (Enough for 8 Tyers) DELIVERD to Scotland.
Guy’s if it’s even half as good as claimed, it’s worth every penny.

Anyone else even thinking of this, Contact Mike Smith & have a chat.
Mention ‘Paul’ said to give you a call & he might offer you a deal .

 

[Nesting Zombie]

Maybe even something for Phil to think about offering through WC shop membership discounts

Brave yes, google no mission.

Spent time Researching various products, This one amongst them & a firm favourite. Spoken to the Tech people, Seen the Video & now Ordered enough for 10 Tyers on 2 vehicles.
.

Also booked a slot at the garage for them to Jack Both vehicles up, Take out Valve inner, Install product & Re inflate.
Sooooo,

 

[Nesting Zombie]

Does anyone know where I can get a ‘Bed of Nails’ to test ?.

India.

 

[Nesting Zombie]

Sooo,
ALL DONE,
Product got sent straight to the Garage, The lads at the Garage got MO in today & 50min later was all done.
Total cost for Product & fitting worked out around the
£25 per corner per Vehicle on my relatively new Tyers. So very happy with that, & hopefully the piece of mind it will give me.

If the tyres go down would you be classed as living in a flat.

I put Puncturesafe in the tyres on my first van. 2 days before a ferry to France I was having the van serviced and they told me there was a nail in a front tyre.
When I told them there was tyre sealant in there they would not touch it due to the mess involved. Put the spare on and went to loads of tyre places non of whom wanted to know saying it was now non repairable and didn't want the mess even if I bought a new tyre from them. It was more inconvenient than a puncture. They also pointed out that the sealant had stopped a leak from the nail but had I carried on driving with it unbeknownst to me it would have worked it's way in and could have caused a blowout. I eventually found an independant garage who removed all tyres and flushed them clean. What a bloody faff when I should have been packing for my trip.
I have however got the green Slime in my e-bike tyres and it has bailed me out twice in 3 years. Punctures are easy to mend on a bike but the tyres on this one are a bugger to get on and off.

I asked about this,
This stuff IS & Remans a Liquid while in the Tyer, Maybe a bit like runny Honny, is Water Soluble & only has 425ml of Product in per Tyre.
So in the event of changing tyres, take Air out via Valve inner, Take Valve out, Break bead & insert hosepipe to Flush

Apparently
