Product Information
Full details
The Add It Tyre Seal is designed for drivers of cars, caravans, trailers, motorbikes, and vans who need a quick and tool-free solution for minor tyre punctures. Its key benefit is instantly repairing and inflating your tyre in approximately 90 seconds, allowing you to resume your journey without needing a jack or spare. A potential caveat is its suitability for medium tyres within a 15 to 16-inch diameter range.

FAQs
How long does the repair last?
Add It Tyre Seal provides a temporary fix to allow you to drive to a repair shop. For safety and longevity, it's recommended to have the tyre professionally inspected and repaired or replaced as soon as possible.
What is the maximum tyre size this product can be used on?
This product is designed for medium tyres with a diameter between 15 to 16 inches. You can find your tyre's diameter by checking the number next to 'R' on the tyre's sidewall (e.g., R15 or R16).
Can I use this on a motorhome or larger van?
While suitable for vans, it is specifically designed for tyres within the 15 to 16-inch diameter range. Larger motorhomes or commercial vehicles with significantly larger tyres may require a different solution.
Do I need any tools to use Add It Tyre Seal?
No, the Add It Tyre Seal is designed for tool-free application. No jacks or additional tools are required.
What should I do after using the tyre seal?
After applying the sealant and inflating the tyre, drive the vehicle immediately for a few miles at a moderate speed. This helps distribute the sealant evenly inside the tyre. Then, seek professional tyre service.
Can this product repair sidewall damage?
No, Add It Tyre Seal is intended for punctures in the tread area of the tyre and is not designed to repair sidewall damage, cuts, or blowouts.
How should I store the product?
Store the can in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and sources of heat. Keep it accessible in your vehicle for emergency use.
Troubleshooting
Tyre does not inflate or seal properly
Ensure the can was shaken well before use and the nozzle was firmly attached to the valve. Verify that the tyre is within the compatible size range (15-16 inches). If the puncture is too large or in the sidewall, the product may not be effective.
Product dispenses very slowly or not at all
Check if the can is empty or past its expiry date. Make sure the valve on the tyre is not blocked.
Can is difficult to connect to the tyre valve
Ensure the valve stem is clean and free from debris. Try wiggling the connector slightly while pressing it onto the valve.
