Which would you choose, and why?

Also, any recommended brands of tyre-weld if that's the suggestion?

Thanks,

Martin.

(Please, no "use a spare wheel" suggestions - it's not a viable option unfortunately)

Thanks guys.

Differing opinions about whether tyre-weld makes the tyre unrepairable or not - that's what I've read everywhere, which is frustrating.


Slime - not 100% sure - there's the stuff which is branded slime which I thought was after-the-event puncture-repair, and then there's the "puncture-safe" stuff which acts as a preventative internal self-sealing membrane.

just bought 2x 400ml tyre weld from halfords

should have been £13.49 each - £26.98 yikes

in store they're doing buy one get one free

online, you can reserve and collect 2 for £5.00 !!!

still got a space saver in the boot, but i think i'd rather trust tyre weld than a 21 year old tyre
yes

Just reserved mine on the back of comments on here (thanks Neil and others!). I did notice that not many branches had any of this 2-for-£5 offer left, so might be worth checking quickly if you want it...
