The goo works by entering the puncture from inside the tyre and
setting when it comes into contact with the air outside.

However, granddad, if you google "ultraseal" you will find that it is
claimed to be more than a temporary fix

Which reminds me, having just paid £250 for a pair tyres maybe I
should chuck some in.

Surely having a liquid sloshing around in a 'new' tyre would cause
horrendous out of balance problems at certain road speeds?

I didn't notice any problems with my Suzuki

certainly better than the effects of a blowout at err ... 70 mph



If it works by coming into contact with air then at sometime it is
going to set when it comes into with the air inside of the tyre. Lets
just hope it is not at the low point when the car is sat in a driveway
for a week or two.
I'm talking more for a bike, where loss of one tyre is more significant
than with a car

I was suggesting it as a "get you to the tyre fitters" stopgap to the OP


I have a punctured tyre approximately once every 10 years - with a
spare tyre available in the boot if required. Is inserting a goo into
the tyre from new a worthwhile insurance policy?


Surprisingly, I have no inner tubes


When did car tyres last have inner tubes?

Ask dave ...

I'm sure I said that I had used it in my motorbike tyre, but not certain
as I can't access my post anymore.
