Like Fix-A-Flat? Yeah, it works. One time I had 3 flats in just a few hours, late at night driving from SC to IN. Must have been following a nail truck with a leak. No repair shops were open and I had removed my spare, so my only option was fix a flat. Worked fine each time. However...the next person to dismount the tire will hate you. I was at Tire Barn a few weeks ago and they now charge double to fix a flat if you've used a sealant.

This reminds me, i should probably get a couple cans of it. I know the kids use to use it a lot when they rode bikes in the fields, and it does work.

If you are talking about fix-a-flat type products they are pretty much a one time use kind of product. They are also meant to be temporary, just to be used to get you going to where you can get the tire fixed properly. Personally I carry around a plug kit in my trunk for for small punctures. | |

There are several products out there that are added into the tire/wheel assembly to help prevent leaks. Some are in arresol cans and allow the user to connect to valve stem and product and inflate tire and continue on. Other types are a preventive, deflate tire, remove vale core and either pump or sqease product from container, threw valve stem, reinflate tire to proper inflation pressure and drive to get product evenly distributed inside tube or tire. The secound is a preventive, the fist is emergency usage. Do they work? Depends on puncture and ize of hole, and where hole is located. If you have tires that loose pressure slowly and no leak can be found in the tire, valve stem, and the wheel arnt damaged or cracked letting IR OUT, THEM TRY THE LIQUID POUR IN FORM. This product does work in tubed tires well, such s bikes, small garden tractor size trailer tires and similair sized tires. I hav 2 5 gallon buckets I have used on implements that I dont use very often, and those tires I dont like to pull off and repair. It is a mess to repair tires with either type product in them.

A word of caution. If you have a tire pressure monitoring system where the sensor is mounted in the tire, don't use a tire sealant. It'll mess it up. | |
