Default Check this out it might save your life or money

Hi peeps just got this from a friend and thought you guys would like to know about it too. Check out below as I have three friends that have got this and they all swear by it and im getting it done too:

FYI: http://www.ultraseal.com/Pages/prodI...s/prodInf.html
for £20 you get some gunk in both tyres that is sold as being able to permanently fix a puncture up to 6mm in diameter that is good for 50k miles and 156mph.

For me, £20 was an easy purchase choice (£20 now or a puncture in the future and a 2 hour wait for the AA).


Norman Larkin (Nice bloke too)(0118 9831941, 07939 14555) has a mobile installation van and tell him i sent you.

More info:

"One treatment will provide additional longevity and cooler running tires for the legal tread life of the tire."

That bit concerns me; aren't tyres designed so that as they warm up they get grippier?

I use UltraSeal and have recommended it several times on the forum, as have others, as it really does fix punctures.

I'm sure I'm in to double figures now with the punctures I've had on my Avon Vipers that have been sorted without needing to go to a tyre place because of UltraSeal, so that's easily covered the costs, and I may have had more that I've not even noticed.

The only thing I will say say is that you still do need to check your tyre pressures as I always seem to need to add a few PSI to my tyres every week, even though the makers claim UltraSeal removes the need to do this.

Eventually, this heat inside, builds up, causing punctures, blowouts, excessive tyre wear, and eventual failure. This is where Ultraseal can help. The Ultraseal treatment deals with this heat in two ways, it disperses then conducts the heat to the rim, via Ultraseal’s liquid inner tyre coverage, and also due to the fact a little of the secret liquid chemical formulation within the product vapourises whilst the vehicle is in motion, and the heat from this vapour is transferred by condensation to the rim with contact, where it is then passed to the outside environment.

Yes but we're not all mechanical geniuses who always have puncture repair kits, tools etc. in hand.

I don't want it because as much of a pain as a puncture can be, I'd rather know I'd had one.

Using Tahir's experience as an example in this:

The BS-whatever-the-number-is-I've-forgotten limits the number of puncture repairs allowed*, in part this is because the tyre structure can be damaged by a puncture, and at the very least the tyre needs to be examined inside and out, preferably by somebody suitably experienced, in order to ensure that a puncture repair is appropriate.

* And the type of tyre that can be repaired as well, some high speed rated tyres are recommended not to be repaired, simply it is considered that any damage to a tyre intended for use at high stress levels is too much.
