Product Information

Full details

The ECOMOTIVE Tyre-Fix is a permanent gel-like tyre sealant designed for car owners seeking to prevent flat tires and extend the lifespan of their tires. Its key benefit is a single-application, long-lasting protection against punctures, while a potential caveat is the need for a compressor for reinflation after application. This product coats the inner liners of tires, preventing flats caused by punctures, reducing operating temperatures, and maintaining proper tire pressure, thus extending tyre life by up to 25% and potentially improving fuel efficiency by up to 3%.

FAQs

How long does ECOMOTIVE Tyre-Fix last?

Tyre-Fix is designed to be a permanent sealant, lasting for the entire life of the tire with a single application.

Can this be used on a motorbike?

Yes, the Tyre-Fix is suitable for motorbike tires in addition to car tires, provided they are tubed, tubeless, or run-flat.

What happens if I get a larger puncture?

The Tyre-Fix is effective for common punctures. For large cuts or sidewall damage, the sealant may not be sufficient, and professional tire repair or replacement will be necessary.

Does the sealant damage my rims?

No, the formula is water-soluble and is designed not to rust rims or damage tire components.

Do I need to remove the sealant before changing tires?

The sealant is permanent and generally stays within the tire. During professional tire changes or repairs, it can be washed out. It is recommended to inform your tire technician that the sealant has been applied.

How does it help with fuel saving?

By consistently maintaining the correct tire pressure and preventing air loss, the Tyre-Fix helps reduce rolling resistance, which can lead to improved fuel efficiency of up to 3%.

Is the included compressor powerful enough?

The included compressor is powerful enough to reinflate a tire after the sealant has been applied, allowing for use on the go or at home.

Troubleshooting

Tyre does not reinflate after application

Ensure the compressor is correctly connected to the valve stem and the compressor is powered on. Check the compressor's power source and ensure the valve core is not blocked.

Sealant does not appear to be working after a puncture

Drive the vehicle for a few miles at varying speeds to allow the sealant to distribute and seal the puncture. Ensure the puncture is not too large for the sealant to handle. If the leak persists, inspect the tire for damage beyond the sealant's capability.

Uneven tire pressure readings

After application and driving to distribute the sealant, allow the tire to rest. Recheck pressure. If issues persist, the sealant may not be evenly distributed, or there may be an underlying porosity issue. Ensure the compressor is used to set the correct pressure.

Difficulty cleaning sealant residue

Use warm water and a brush to gently remove any fresh sealant. For dried sealant, a damp cloth may be sufficient. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage tire components.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides permanent puncture protection with a single application.
  • Extends tire life significantly, potentially up to 25%.
  • Contributes to fuel efficiency by maintaining optimal tire pressure.
  • Compatible with a wide range of tire types (tubed, tubeless, run-flat).
  • Includes a useful air compressor for immediate reinflation.
  • Water-soluble formula is easy to clean and safe for tire rims.

Cons

  • Requires a compressor for reinflation after application.
  • Sealant must be applied before a puncture occurs.
  • May add a slight weight to the tire, which could be a consideration for performance-focused vehicles.
  • Regular checks of tire pressure are still recommended.
  • Not a substitute for proper tire maintenance and inspection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility:

  • This product is designed for use with tubed, tubeless, and run-flat tires.
  • It is suitable for cars, motorcycles, and other vehicles with these tire types.

Setup:

  1. Ensure the tire is properly deflated and the puncture is identified (if applicable).
  2. Connect the included air compressor to the tire valve.
  3. Inject the single bottle of ECOMOTIVE Tyre-Fix gel sealant into the tire through the valve stem using the compressor.
  4. Once the sealant is applied, use the compressor to reinflate the tire to the manufacturer's recommended pressure.
  5. Drive the vehicle for a short distance (e.g., 3-5 miles or 5-8 km) at moderate speeds to ensure the sealant evenly coats the inside of the tire.

Care:

  • The Tyre-Fix sealant is permanent and requires no regular maintenance.
  • Periodically check your tire pressure as recommended for any vehicle.
  • If a significant puncture occurs or tire damage is suspected, consult a professional.
  • The formula is water-soluble, making it easy to clean off hands or surfaces with water. Ensure rims are checked for any residual sealant during tire changes.
