    Forgot the brand, saw some of these in display at blade sm north.. it is somewhat similar to those that are being used in tubeless bike tires, wherein you will pump the liquid content into your tires and will seal small punctures if there's any. Has anyone of you already tried this? cost around 600+ per can, 1 can per tire.

    I've used Slime before. These products can cause the tires to become unbalanced, hence the product recommends a lower top speed after application.

    It's a great first aid but it should't replace a proper patch or repair.

    i have 2 cans in my pick up but have yet (and hopefully never) used it. it is for extreme emergencies only, when like there is no way to replace a flat tire on a rainy night on 8 inches of mud on a farm road. but if i were on tarmac or it's not raining, spare tire will surely be used instead.

    had used that before....para lang makarating sa vulcanizing shop.
    pag bukas ng gulong sa vulcanizing shop, kadumi ng loob...... ang hirap linisin para makita ang butas.
    will not use it again....mas ok pa magpalit na lang ng gulong..

    Never use this stuff.

    Practice using your tire jack and spare tire.

    Or upgrade to a hydrolic jack. Scissor types are usually included in the toolkit but they suck.

    good tip... every PMS make sure nasa recommended tire pressure ang spare tire para pag gagamitin mo na eh ready ito... tska never over torque your lug nuts, i seen many people ignore this, kayo din mahihirapan pag tangal in emergency situations plus over torque leads to warping of the disc brakes
