It is ideal for emergency kits in cars, caravans, trailers, and vans, offering a quick 90-second inflation and seal process.

FAQs

Will this work on a 17-inch tyre?

No, this product is specifically formulated for 15-inch and 16-inch tyres. Using it on other sizes may lead to improper inflation or seal failure.

Can I continue driving long distances after using this?

No. This is a temporary emergency repair meant only to help you reach a nearby repair shop or safe location.

Is this safe for motorcycle tyres?

Yes, it is compatible with motorcycles, provided the tyre size falls within the 15 to 16-inch specification.

Do I need to check my tyre pressure after applying?

Yes, once you arrive at a repair shop or service station, verify the pressure with a standard gauge.

Is the sealant permanent?

No, it is a temporary solution and should be replaced by a permanent tyre repair or a new tyre at a professional garage.

Can I use this on a flat tyre that came off the rim?

No, if the tyre has completely detached from the rim, this product will not be effective and you require professional roadside assistance.

Troubleshooting

Tyre did not inflate after using the product

Check that the connection to the valve is fully tightened. If the tyre has a large gash or sidewall damage, the sealant will not be able to hold pressure.

The canister is difficult to attach to the valve

Ensure the tyre valve is free from debris, dirt, or ice. Clean the valve stem thoroughly before attempting to screw on the connector.

Pressure is still low after the full 90 seconds

The puncture may be too large for the sealant to manage. If the tyre remains flat, do not attempt to drive; seek professional recovery services.

  • No mechanical skills or physical strength required for wheel changing
  • Compatible with a wide variety of road-going vehicles

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before using, always confirm your tyre size by checking the sidewall for the diameter indicator. Look for the letter 'R' followed by a number (e.g., R15 or R16). This product is specifically calibrated for these dimensions. When storing, keep the canisters in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures to maintain the integrity of the chemical sealant. Avoid puncturing or incinerating empty cans, and ensure you dispose of used canisters according to local hazardous waste regulations.
