Ultra seal

[mike_5118133]

has anyone one used ultra seal puncture prevention in their tyres and does it work? Are thre any negatives.

Yes

Yes

Well, not for you, but warn any fitter when you get your tyres changed as they beed to remove all pressure before breaking the bead. If they don't, it takes a while to clean up.

Hi Mike,

Be aware that some tyre fitting companies will not repair tyres which have had ultra seal or similar compounds put into tyres - it once cost me a new tyre!

Hi Mike. I put the product into my van wheels last year and have a lot of confidence in it.

I started to wonder about the investment 6 weeks ago in Spain when one tyre had a slow puncture. Ultraseal should stop this problem completely I thought.

When I removed the wheel I could not find any problem with the tyre so had to look further. I found 2 blobs of the gel on the inside of the alloy wheel which pointed to 2 fractures in the casting.

Of course the Ultraseal is not intended to stop this type of leak but it did provide the indicator to where the problem was.

I removed the gel to a sealed container and will put it back in the tyre when I get my new wheel.

That the beauty of it Clive, is that you can re-use it, it's not just a get you home measure. On top of that ultraseal conditions the tyre so that it doesn't deteriorate the as much when your 'vans laid up for a while. It also encourages lower tyre temperatures when on the move, and if you are unfortunate to have a tyre fail ultraseal will reduce the decompression rate to hopefully allow driver control.
