FAQs

Is this a permanent tyre repair solution?

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.

How long can I drive on a tyre repaired with this sealant?

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.

Can I use this on electric car tyres?

Yes, this sealant is suitable for use on electric car tyres. It is designed to address common punctures encountered on the road.

What should I do after using the tyre sealant?

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.

Will this sealant affect my tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS)?

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.

What is the shelf life of the sealant?

Please check the expiry date printed on the bottle. It is recommended to use the sealant before this date for optimal performance.

Can this seal large cuts or sidewall damage?

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.

Troubleshooting

Tyre not inflating after sealant application

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.

Sealant is not sealing the puncture

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.

Uneven tyre wear after use

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, Compatibility & Care

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.
