Default Re: Tyre woes

Most of the slimes will only plug a smallish hole, if the hole / gash is large enough to catastrophically deflate tyre ( blowout ) then the slime will just get blown out. That is the problem with the slime kits they supply with modern cars instead of a spare wheel, any decent hole and they are useless ( as is the tyre sometimes after you have used them ). With slime you may be riding around with a hole in the tyre you don't even know is there... Mushroom plug is most secure solution... unlike slime which is a 'solution'...
