Holy Tyres

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

You're right, but doesn't alter my experience.

Absolutely Korky , & heard similar stories from others when I looked into this option.

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.

What you should have done is pull the nail and put a plug in, there is a small kit for this and easy sorted and will last the life of the tyre.

You can't plug it after the sealant has contaminated the rubber, as I mentioned earlier. According to the tyre places anyway.

I use tyre foam 4/4 repair in a can from home bargains at £2.30 a big can, or 2 of the smaller cans at £2 each, i carry 3 in the van.

I. Had to replace a wheel because it was the wheel “rim” cracked and leaking at its point of attachment to the wheel centre structure. I thought that I had a slow puncture until the tyre was removed and tyre checked with no fault found. Now I keep a close watch on the remaining wheels in anticipation of them also failing. The wheel was on a 12 year old Fiat based Autotrail with around 20k miles on it.

It’s good that you found it though, & yeah I would be paranoid about the others as well
