No, RAC Tyre Sealant should only be used as a temporary repair. Professional inspection and repair or replacement of the tyre are recommended as soon as possible.
You should drive at a moderate speed (e.g., 20-30 mph) for a few miles to distribute the sealant. Then, drive cautiously to the nearest service station for a professional inspection. It is not designed for long-term use.
Yes, this sealant is suitable for use on electric car tyres. It is designed to address common punctures encountered on the road.
After applying and driving to distribute the sealant, you must get the tyre inspected by a professional tyre fitter or garage. They will assess the damage and perform a permanent repair if possible.
Tyre sealants can sometimes interfere with TPMS sensors. It is advisable to inform your mechanic that sealant has been used so they can check and clean the sensor during inspection.
Please check the expiry date printed on the bottle. It is recommended to use the sealant before this date for optimal performance.
This product is intended for minor punctures in the tyre tread. It is not designed to repair large cuts, gashes, or damage to the tyre's sidewall.
Check that the valve core is fully reinserted and tightened. Ensure the sealant bottle was fully dispensed. You may need to use an external pump to inflate the tyre.
The puncture may be too large or located on the sidewall, which this sealant cannot repair. Drive slowly to the nearest garage for professional assessment.
This can occur if the sealant did not distribute evenly. Drive at a moderate speed for 5-10 miles after application to help it spread. If the issue persists, seek professional tyre balancing.
Setup: Ensure the vehicle is parked on a flat, stable surface. Locate the puncture if possible and remove the object (e.g., nail). Unscrew the valve core using the provided spare. Connect the sealant bottle nozzle to the valve and dispense the entire contents. Screw the valve core back in. Re-inflate the tyre to the recommended pressure. Drive for a few miles at a moderate speed (e.g., 20-30 mph) to allow the sealant to distribute evenly.
Compatibility: This sealant is designed for use with tubeless tyres commonly found on electric cars and other vehicles. It is suitable for temporary repair of tread punctures.
Care: Store the sealant bottle in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure the cap is securely fastened when not in use. Always check the expiry date on the bottle.
