FAQs

Can I use this for all tyre sizes?

No, the 300ml container is designed specifically for tyres 14 inches and under.

Is this a permanent fix for my flat tyre?

No, this is a temporary repair solution only. You must have the tyre inspected or replaced professionally as soon as possible.

Do I need to change the wheel after using this?

While it allows you to drive to a destination, you should have the tyre professionally inspected, as the chemical sealant is temporary.

Can I drive at normal highway speeds after applying the foam?

No, you should drive at a reduced speed after application to ensure the sealant sets correctly.

Does this work on sidewall punctures?

No, this product is not suitable for tyres with large sidewall damage or if the tyre has been displaced from the rim.

Troubleshooting

The foam is leaking from the valve connection.

Ensure the tube is screwed fully onto the valve stem and that the seal is tight before releasing the canister.

The tyre remains flat after usage.

Check if the damage involves a large sidewall tear or rim displacement, as these are beyond the repair capacity of this product.

Difficulty threading the tube onto the valve.

Ensure the tyre valve is at the 12 o'clock position and the threads are free from debris before attachment.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Eliminates the need for difficult roadside tyre changes
  • Works quickly to save time in emergency situations
  • Compact enough to store in most vehicle interiors
  • Compatible with a wide variety of standard vehicle types

Cons

  • Not suitable for tyres larger than 14 inches
  • Cannot repair major sidewall damage or rim displacements
  • Requires immediate, low-speed driving after application
  • Serves as a temporary measure only, necessitating professional repair

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before using the product, ensure your vehicle is parked in a safe, level location away from traffic. Unscrew the valve cap and securely attach the aerosol tube to the valve stem. Press the trigger to release the foam until the tyre reaches the desired pressure. Note that the 300ml size is specifically calibrated for tyres 14 inches and under; using it on significantly larger tyres may result in insufficient inflation. Always store the canister in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. After using this product to reach safety, ensure the tyre is inspected by a professional mechanic immediately to determine if it can be repaired or requires a full replacement.
