I picked up a couple of cans of this today,handy if you have changed from runflats to non runflats.
£8.99 in Halfords,so quite a saving.Expiry Date 2017.

You'll also need a small electric compressor for our tyre size just to add the extra PSI .... £7.99 @ TK Maxx

at that price its worth deflating a tyre for a trial run , feel free to record & upload the process f3rk1n waste of time when i tried it years ago

happy to be proven wrong if any success stories out there

is it oil or water based?

It doesn't tell you the contents on the can.What it does say is;
Tyreweld is a temporary emergency repair;the tyre should be professionally repaired or replaced as soon as possible.Inform the tyre repairer Tyreweld has been used and show the can.
Officially approved by the NTDA National Tyre Distributors Association.
If it gets you out the s*** it is better than nothing!

It does say on the can "up to 16inch wheels"

Is there enough jollop in the can to fix ?

Don't do it, just had a disaster with it. Didn't seal tiny puncture even though nail only two mm or so. Foam pissed out of leak and was sucked back onto car. Plastered the rear in tyreweld which when it dried has been a right bitch to get off. Over 4 hours hard labour with various products and only 80% there. Thank fook it didn't get in fabric roof!!

Used 2 cans of it due 19" rim.

Holts tyreweld as per the thread title. There was nothing water based about what was left on my car.

Maybe you put too much in and or over pressurised? The actual circumference of a low profile 19" wheel isn't really that much larger than a 50/16" and I presume it's the internal surface area of the tyre that needs to get coated with the sealant. I wonder if the 'up to 16" wheels' means standard profile?

This stuff is supposed to be brilliant, and very easy to clean off the wheel when the tyre is changed :

Keep meaning to buy some and forgetting

My can of tyreweld is for 17/18" wheels. They must do different sizes
