Tubeless Tyre Repair Kits - Any Good?
Discussion
This sort of thing ?
I would suggest, as does the description, Emergency use only. I carry one as a useful get me home if stuck in the middle of nowhere on a Sunday evening.
Get a proper "mushroom plug" fitted from inside the tyre as soon as possible,imho.

"All the time" !!! you get a lot of punctures?Edited by phillpot on Wednesday 26th October 07:56
We've had this debate once or twice before, they are carried by tyre fitters here including the AA as a 'get you home' device, but people have realised they are much more durable than that. When I found out the tyre fitters I know use them as a permanent repair on their own vans I bought a kit and have used it a few times myself saving a lot of time and money.
Apparently classed as a permanent repair in other parts of the World (the rest of Europe) I think it's up to the user to decide. Like any tool in the hands of a chancer, poor DIYer or person of little common sense it could go either way if used wrongly, but then so could many other DIY repairs.
