puncture repair kits

[Jollyjoiner]

So for all those that remove their run flats and put standard tyres on the cars, what puncture / tyreweld kits / pumps do some of you use or could recommend ?

Cheers

Several popular brands on the market BUT make sure you get a water based kit so that a repairer can wash out the gunk and make a proper repair if possible.

SLIME is very good and not too expensive, washes out with water so doesn't ruin your tyre. The AA used it for a bit before switching back to a temporary plug kit.

Alternatively give your breakdown provider a call, I can recommend a certain aforementioned company and sort out a bit of a discount on any new membership required

Yes i've looked at the slime ones and can pick them up for £23
I'm also in the AA already so if that fails then it would be a call to them

Remember though any form of SIDEWALL damage can't be repaired tempory or otherwise so don't waste your liquid repair solution on these you will end up with an expensive puddle.

Yes if it's anything like that then it would be a trip on the back of a lorry lol

This is almost exactly what the AA use and it seems to work 99% of the time.
