Full details

The CarPlan Flat Mate Tyre Inflator and Puncture Repair is an essential tool for drivers of larger vehicles who need a reliable, rapid solution to tire punctures without the physical labor of changing a wheel. It is ideal for owners of 4x4s, vans, and sedans with tires 17 inches or larger, offering the ability to seal and inflate in under 90 seconds; however, it is important to note that this product serves as a temporary emergency measure and requires a professional inspection of the tire thereafter.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this on a tire smaller than 17 inches?

This product is specifically formulated for larger tires. Using it on smaller tires may result in over-pressurization.

Does this provide a permanent repair?

No. This is an emergency repair product intended to get you to a service station. The tire should be inspected by a professional immediately.

Will this ruin my tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS)?

While the sealant is designed to be as safe as possible, some TPMS sensors can be affected by internal sealants. Inform the tire technician that a sealant was used.

How do I know if my tire is suitable for this repair?

Check the sidewall for an 'R' value of 17 or higher. If the puncture is on the sidewall or the cut is larger than a standard nail hole, do not use this product.

How many cans do I need for one tire?

A single 500mL canister is typically sufficient to seal and inflate one large tire. Do not attempt to use multiple cans if the first one does not seal the tire.

Troubleshooting

The sealant is not inflating the tire

Ensure the valve stem is clear of debris and the nozzle is screwed on tightly to create a proper airtight seal.

Tire continues to lose pressure after use

The puncture may be too large for the sealant or located on the sidewall, which the product cannot repair. Seek professional recovery service.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before relying on this product, verify your vehicle's compatibility by checking the tire sidewall. Look for the 'R' designation followed by a number (e.g., R17, R18, R19). This product is specifically engineered for tires with a diameter of 17 inches or greater.

Care and Storage Guidelines:

  • Keep cans in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
  • Do not store in the passenger cabin; ensure it is secured in the trunk or a designated tool compartment.
  • Always check the expiry date on the canister to ensure the chemical sealant remains effective in an emergency.
