[CorsaEdi]

As title says really

Whats the question

[CorsaEdi]

Is it worth using? I have a slow puncture but the tyre is nearly new so don't want to replace yet

[Vegas]

I'd try it on the daily
No experience with it though, just seems like can't hurt to try

[Connor]

the stuff thats in them makes the inside of the tyre funny so patchs wont stick i pesonaly would repair it if its nearly new and we probley be a rim seal or the value its self

[CorsaEdi]

Tbh I think the air is leaking from the rim, is this an easy fix for a tyre shop?

[Connor]

easy peasy, at work we take the tyre off and wire brush all the crap off the rim paint it with some bead sealer and put tyre back on job done, why dont you take wheel off and spray some water on the wheel to see where its coming from

[craig55]

Can be a pain tyre weld is crap and a temp fix just get the bead sealed

Just at asda at the min or else I would, how much would a garage charge for that doing? Roughly obviously

[craig55]

Same price as fitting a tyre use soapy water to check for leaks will make them more noticeable

[CorsaEdi]

Thanks a lot guys

Depends where you go, a place near me changed a tyre valve for free

[CorsaEdi]

I finish work in 15 mins so I'll take it into a local tyre shop I use
