Has to use it once on the car. Worked a treat :D A much better option than the kit that came with the car. I carry two in the camper and one in each car.

Yes, Pat, it can be repaired (Holts Tyreweld). Unlike the gunk that came from Ford with the car. Use that and you have the joy of replacing the tyre and the gunk which of course you can only get from Ford!

I came out one morning to a flat. Kids already in the car ready for school. Took out the can of Holts Tyreweld and in less than five minutes was on my way. Dropped the kids to school and drove to the local tyre guy. Puncture repaired for a tenner. Plus the tenner for the can of tyerweld (I may actually have bought it at half price). So 5 minute delay and €20 outlay but no fighting with jacks, wheelbrace, tight nuts, wheels that wont come off even with all the nuts undone, heavy spare wheel etc. Even with a spare why would you bother!

So my local Aldi are selling cans of Tyreweld at a bargain price of €4.99. It looks to be just surplus stock they are shifting so quite likely not available in all stores. I picked up a few cans, to keep in our 2 cars and the camper. It’s label states “Large 17” Tyres or Above” and it also states “suitable for cars, vans, trailers and caravans” and “safe for use with tyre-pressure monitoring systems”.

Have any of you used this stuff and how would you rate it? And as it is a temporary fix, how long can you drive around on it?

We have a Daewoo matiz, its used for moving caravans about, tow bar on the front and the back. One punctured wheel won't come off, nuts all rung, i injected it with a cheap can of tyre weld and its now been up about 4 months, still working fine and moving caravans. (it's never on the road)

Pictures or it never happened ;)

Who could have predicted that a Daewoo Matiz would finish out it's days shunting trailers around a yard, that's the stuff of legends.

On the tyre weld, have had cause to use it twice and it got me out of bother. I wouldn't ever count on saving/repairing the tyre if you've reached a point where you need to use Tyre Weld.

I'm getting confused. Why would you be sacrificing your tyres if you had to use this stuff? I did see a few posts on here about some other gunk, made by Ford I think, that did leave your tyres in a mess. But going by reports on here about Tyreweld, your tyre should be left in a reusable and repairable state no?

I have used it a couple of times when it wasnt convenient to change the wheel or just couldnt be ars**. Dont think the tyre fittters like it. I still like to have a spare wheel. My Skoda came with the tyre weld and compressor but I bought a second hand wheel and jack just in case

It's down to the circumstances that would leave you needing to use tyre weld v's just using a pump.
