 Mostly Holland. Sometimes UK.
It's always been a latent anxiety on any road trip with the zed; how to deal with a flattie when obviously you don't have a spare and are loathed to use the temporary foam-can fix and when you're miles from civilisation...or at least a tyre shop.

There are a few of these kits around and the REXPAIR one seems pretty convincing.
Does anyone have any direct or anecdotal experience of successfully/unsuccessfully using it? Any longevity/reliability issues?
I must say the promo vide are very compelling, so I'm about to pull the trigger on a kit to stick in the 'bootbox full of useful but ultimately unutilised things. It will probably sit right next to the 'instant hood repair kit' for years to come :lol:

I’ve used those things for years on cars & bikes with no problems, they’re also known as “rats tails”
They’re meant to be a temporary repair but I’ve never had one fail.

As Smartbear said they work well in certain circumstances like when you get a small puncture in the tread.

Unfortunately my last 5 punctures have either been in the sidewall where in my case the damage was too great or the other time I collected a bolt size puncture in the tread and they couldn’t plug the gap

I still carry a kit plus a gloop version with compressor
 
In my Z I have one of these kits plus a compressor and tyre seal as well as a space saver and tools - Ive experienced the recovery services response times on my daily. Not had to use the repair kit yet but looks like a no brainer?
