I’ve used it often and found it to be the best tire sealant you can buy in the store. The downside is you can’t use it on the road side if you get a flat because it doesn’t inflate the tire. If it doesn’t work you may need to get the tire professionaly repaired or have it replaced

I’ve repaired tires myself in the past and found that the plugs do seal the hole. However when the tire wears, so does the plug. A plug is inserted from the top of the tread as where a patch is inserted from within the tire. A patch cannot wear as the tread wears. I would recommend making sure the tire was patched and not plugged and patching is more of a permanent repair. Go with your gut instinct and get the tire patched regardless of what the shop manager tells you.

Could be the wrong size tire on the rim, or maybe you curb it often when you park?.. those would cause the rim leak, if there isnt a problem with the tire, than it is the rim.

Got to Wal Mart and get the green slime tire sealent or ask a associate for something!

get the tyre taken off the rim..sand it smooth and simplypaint around the beading…the freash paint will act as a sealing agent…jobs a good’n.

yes, aluminum rims need cleaning real good around the bead before you mount a tire.

You need new tires…you might think that the treads are ok but obviously they aren’t.

if your tire is up against the rim and just not sealing. the auto parts store has bead sealer it is what the tire shops use it’s liquid rubber I don’t know if they have small cans because I just buy the quarts

It would be best to break the tire down and clean the rim and beadseal the tire and check for leaks
