Tyre Foam - Any good ?

[Michael172]

so does the s**t work ? i mean is it worth loosing the spre wheel to save weight and to replace it with a can of the s**t ?

All i've heard is that it's rubbsh.

I'd forget saving weight in a 1.2 imo it's probably not worth it, get a bigger engined car.

Ive just had a puncture and didnt actually use it, the guy said it ruins the tyres so its not like it works. To be honest i wouldnt bother if its weight saving your looking up as i am looking at buying a spare wheel.

it ends up sealing the hole if you use it properly. gotta leave the nail or whatever it is in there. but it also ruins your rims.

Just get the breakdown people out. I've never used it, but I've heard its pants!

The tyre has to be binned no repairs can now be done on it.

The tyre fitting places hate the stuff.

mike you tool, i bet £50 that you carnt tell one bit that the wheel is in or out

i'd not bother with the can

Its ok for small holes and is only ment to last till u get home.
If you get a big hole your up poo poo street.

Well if it cant be repaired then screw it then if it goes again then ill just get a new tyre but i aint gunna chuck a decent tyre away

They cannot be fixed once the faom has been used its one of the problems plus they fact it doens't always work.
