FAQs

Is this a permanent tyre repair?

No, RAC Tyre Sealant is designed for emergency use only. It provides a temporary seal to allow you to reach a safe location or a tyre repair professional. The tyre will require a permanent repair or replacement.

What size punctures can this sealant fix?

It is intended for minor punctures, such as those caused by nails or screws in the tread area. It may not be effective for larger cuts, tears, or damage to the tyre's sidewall.

How long does the temporary seal last?

The duration of the temporary seal can vary greatly depending on the size of the puncture and driving conditions. It is crucial to get the tyre professionally inspected and repaired as soon as possible.

Do I need to remove the object that caused the puncture?

It is generally recommended to leave the object in place until a professional can assess the tyre. Removing it could cause the tyre to deflate immediately.

Can I use this on a spare tyre?

This product is intended for use on the tyre that is currently fitted to your vehicle and has a puncture, not for general spare tyre maintenance or repair.

What should I do after using the tyre sealant?

After injecting the sealant and driving a short distance to distribute it, check the tyre pressure and inflate to the recommended level. Then, drive directly to a tyre professional for inspection and repair.

What is included in the 300ml bottle?

The 300ml bottle includes the tyre sealant, 2x plastic gloves, a hand wipe, a red warning dust cap, and a spare valve core.

Troubleshooting

Sealant not injecting into the tyre.

Ensure the nozzle is screwed on securely to the valve stem and the valve is depressed correctly. Check if the valve core is blocked; if so, use the spare valve core provided.

Tyre pressure drops rapidly after application.

This may indicate a larger puncture than the sealant can handle or damage to the tyre sidewall. The sealant is for temporary emergency use; seek professional assistance immediately.

Uneven tyre wear or vibration after use.

This can occur if the sealant is not evenly distributed. Drive at a low speed for a short distance as per instructions. A professional inspection is recommended.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Ensure the vehicle is on a flat, stable surface and the handbrake is engaged.

  3. Remove the valve cap from the tyre.
  4. Screw one of the included plastic gloves onto the nozzle of the sealant bottle.
  5. Attach the nozzle firmly to the tyre's valve stem.
  6. Squeeze the bottle to inject the entire 300ml of sealant into the tyre.
  7. Remove the nozzle and replace the tyre valve cap.
  8. Immediately drive the vehicle for a few miles (approx. 3-5 miles) at a slow speed (max 30 mph) to help distribute the sealant evenly inside the tyre.
  9. After distribution, check tyre pressure and inflate to the recommended level. Visit a tyre professional as soon as possible for a permanent repair.

Compatibility:

This sealant is generally compatible with most standard car tyres. However, it is intended for temporary, emergency use only and may not be suitable for large cuts, sidewall damage, or severely damaged tyres.

Care:

Store the sealant bottle in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keep out of reach of children.
