Changed tyres to non Run flat what’s best puncture weld product

[Fox2000]

Hi folks
Quick bit of advice.
Today the newly welded, refurbed and new tyres will be put on the car after by’ cracking’ experience.
I swapped out the run flats on my 326’s to non run flats and need to put some puncture repair solution just in case. There seems to be slime type products, all in one kits including the compressors. I have not used one of these before. What are the forum members finding works best?
Thx

Bought this slime kit for mine after watching youtube video which compared different brands (nails driven into tyres etc)

Can be washed out so puncture may still be repairable -cant comment as never had to use it

I have a Airman kit in my boot ...never had to use it ....yet .....so can't comment on how good it is

 

[mr.tourette]

Ive only ever carried tyre weld...only ever used it once about 15 years ago on a motorbike front wheel to, get me home, was cleaned out and puncture repaired with ease the next day

Motorbike patches. The round/mushroom type, and the long snake type. Both. And a small car pump. Mine fit in the cubby hole in the boot.

I've got something in the boot, can't remember what it is, not had to use it.

(I'm going to re-familiarise myself with it in the morning because I'm definitely tempting fate with this comment!)

he said the boot lace ones are not suitable for cars, should only use mushroom type ...I only needed to get the car 4 miles to have the tyre changed ...I worked for me and I did take it easy going there

There were tyres patched in old E85 that went on to last thousands of miles. In a pinch a motorbike patch will get you rolling in 15 minutes. A no-brainier IMHO.

Thats a good kit, I have it but be aware you will need two bottles for a rear tyre....

any chance of a link to the one you got? Have had a look around and there’s loads out there..

The motorbike kits I carry come with all the tools except pliers. But any petrol head worth half his salt carries a small tool kit.

To be clear, the reason for the motorbike kit is it’s small size. The Zed isn’t generous at all in nooks and crannies.

And I'm not joking.

I have a space saver in the boot of car, never needed it in the 7 odd years it's been there.
Think i had 1 slow puncture due to a screw.
But only lost 1 psi every couple of days.

I did rip the side walls out on pot hole in early ownership of non rft on a front tyre, completely flat. I drove car home several miles, no damage.
Next morning 2 tyres were flat.
This was the reason to buy the space saver.
