Slime CRK0305 - IN Flat Tyre Puncture Repair, Smart , Emergency Kit for Car Tyres, Includes Sealant and Inflator Pump, Suitable for Cars and Other Highway Vehicles, 15 Min Fix

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. Most of the products we evaluated claim to seal punctures up to 6 mm in diameter, though others have no specific claim. Product tests were performed on new tires with a 5.8-mm diameter nail puncture that caused the tire to go flat. We then attempted to seal the puncture, following the product directions.

Another plus is that when you’re not using it to pump sealant into a flat tire, the compressor can inflate other car tires, yard and recreational equipment, boat trailer tires, and so forth.These sealants can be really useful to deal with the immediate problem of a puncture, but they’re not long-term solutions. You’ll need a permanent repair or replacement to keep on the road safely, so book in for a puncture repair or tyre replacement at your local Halfords garage or with our Mobile Experts for quality service you can rely on. Run-flat tyres are designed to allow you to keep driving after a puncture for a limited number of miles and at a lower speed. This is thanks to the unique construction that retains pressure even when the walls are pierced, meaning you can drive home or to the nearest garage. The Slime sealant locates and instantly repairs punctures up to 6mm in diameter, and its water-based formula means that it’s environmentally friendly and easy to wash away. Plus, the tyre inflator is handy for other inflatables and comes in a zippered bag for easy storage in the boot. Can punctures be permanently repaired? We’ve taken our most popular tyre repair kit and given it an upgrade! Meet Slime Tyre Repair Kit Plus – your even easier alternative to a spare tyre. Now it only takes 2 simple steps to repair your emergency flat. You don’t even need to remove the valve core! A flat tyre is usually easy to spot with your eyes, but what if you’re driving? Well, there are a few warning signs to look out for to alert you to a punctured tyre while you’re on the move. These include:

The risk with pre-puncture sealants is that you may not notice if you ever do get a puncture. They’re designed to work almost instantly, so you might not realise that the sealant has been activated. 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. Apart from the slightly expensive price tag, the Terra-S formula is highly rated and a great alternative to what the main dealers try to sell you at a much more inflated price. Read the instructions on the repair kit before you start. If it’s different to our advice, always follow the instructions. Our evaluation clearly showed that the tire sealant kits were far superior to pressurized-can sealants. They were able to seal a larger puncture and have a compressor to inflate the flat tire to the recommended tire pressure of 35 psi for our Toyota Camry.

A puncture repair kit is designed to be used post-puncture - it can temporarily repair a hole after your tyre’s been punctured. To see how the latest products work, the Consumer Reports tire team evaluated seven common sealant models among three distinct types. Each is readily available in stores and online, and we bought multiple samples of each one for the project. If you repaired a punctured tyre using a repair kit, it'll only be a temporary fix. You still need to take your car to a garage or tyre fitters as soon as possible. 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.

While extremely useful for getting you to a garage, the Slime Emergency Tubeless Sealant needs to be removed after 3 days or 100 miles, so it’s only a temporary measure.For emergency use only! Slime's Emergency Tyre Sealant is designed as a temporary formula in passenger vehicles and must be removed within 3 days or 100 miles To properly spread the sealant around the inside of your tire, drive approximately 0.2 miles, then stop and verify that the sealant plugged your puncture and that the tire is holding air pressure. If you are installing Slime in a bicycle, simply spin the tire to evenly distribute the sealant.
