Product Information

If you’ve got a new-ish car, it might have a puncture repair kit instead of a spare tyre to change. A repair kit uses tyre sealant and a compressor to repair the hole in the tyre. If you don’t fancy leaving the house for your new tyre, or need to fit it around your job, why not let us come to you at your home or workplace? Our Halfords Mobile Experts can replace your tyre at the office or right on your driveway, 7 days a week, so you can relax and let us do the hard work for you. Slime are a brand that specialize in car tyre sealants and they offer a variety of formulas and even complete kits. This particular sealant is suitable for tyres up to 20 inch and it can be used for up to 3 days or 100 miles after application. Any external plugs or liquid sealants injected through the tyre valve can’t be thought of as permanent repairs.

Many sealant kits need you to drive a little way for the sealant to spread around the tyre. The kit will explain if you need to do this. If you spot something like a nail or piece of glass that’s pierced the tyre, don’t try to take it out. That could make the hole bigger. Thankfully, with the Slime Smart Tyre Repair Kit, this is a simple process. The easy-to-use repair kit gives you an alternative to a spare tyre, meaning you can patch up a puncture in under 15 minutes without removing the wheel. Below is a list of the best car tyre sealants that are easy to use and are ideal as a temporary repair. The Best Car Tyre SealantIf your tyre is suitable to be repaired, you can book our Puncture Repair service at your nearest Halfords garage to get you moving safely again. If you can’t get to a garage, or just want the convenience of not having to leave your house, let us come to you. Our Halfords Mobile Experts can repair your tyre at home or at work, at a time to suit you. Overall, the AirMan Active Seal is an excellent all-round car tyre sealant and a perfect OEM replacement. It can also be used for tyres up to 21 inch, which makes is suitable for the vast majority of cars, vans or SUV’s. In the kit, you’ll get a bottle of Slime Emergency Tubeless Sealant to plug the puncture and a tyre inflator that can plug straight into your 12V accessory. All you need to do is remove the valve core with the included tool, squeeze the sealant into your tyre, then replace the valve core and reinflate the tyre. This Slime Flat Tyre Repair Kit is also convenient to use on adapters for rafts, balls and other inflatables, easy to take on holiday for beside-the-pool use.

In a pinch, a pressurized can sealant may be able to fix a small hole and allow the car to limp to the tire store for a full repair or tire replacement, provided you have a compressor to top off the tire pressure. The better investment is a tire sealant kit that has the ability to fix a punctured tire and inflate it to the recommended pressure as specified by your car’s tire information placard found on the driver’s door jamb. In addition, the kits evaluated can be safely stowed in the car, even a hot car. On a vacation, or during a busy day, a tire repair kit with a compressor would allow you to continue on route. They cost more, but based on our experience, the price is worthwhile. You’ll need to use the compressor to re-inflate your tyre. It may also pump the sealant into the tyre at the same time. Based on these tests, I would buy a tire repair kit with a compressor to keep in the trunk,” says Ryan Pszczolkowski, a tire technician at Consumer Reports. “But you can’t beat a true spare tire as a solution to any tire problem.” Once you’ve found the puncture, you can re-position the wheel by driving forward a little to make it easier to repair. The tyre is in good condition, with no significant deterioration and a tread depth of at least 1.6mm

Goop are another brand that specialize in tyre sealants for cars and their instant puncture repair formula is their most rated product. Unlike the alternatives, this sealant is designed to be used before you have a puncture and it seals any punctures as and when they occur. It’s also the perfect solution for preventing flat tyres occurring from leaky wheels.
