FLAT Mate Tyre Foam

[good soil (pete)]

So, anyone ever used it???

I heard the other day from a friend that once you have used it you have to get the
tyre replaced...........is that true?

[M@H]

If its the same as Tyreweld, then technically no IIRC.. but no-one really wants to try and clean out the inside of a tyre thats been filled with the stuff... accordingly "you'll need a new tyre guvnor"

so what happens when you use tyreweld?

In effect, is it a new tyre needed thereafter, as no one will repair it?

Tyreweld fills the tyre with expanding foam, which should cover the puncture, allow you to top up with air and get yourself to a garage.

AFAIK, no one wants to clear the Tyreweld out of the tyre (I can only imagine what a pig of a job it must be!), so yes, it's a new tyre once 'welded'...

Yeah the 'Flat Mate' that I have is this type of Tyre Weld stuff........

Cheers for your reply!
