2016 emergency tyre kit
Does anyone have the latest version,with a compressor with integrated gunk? What happens if you have a puncture and use the slime to fix it?
Is the kit rendered useless, or can you buy another gunk bottle, to replace the used one? Seeing prices around the £100 mark, which seems excessive if it's a 1 shot deal

Given that most people are carrying these kits for emergency use, why spend a lot on the manufacturers kits.
There are many using the Continental kits. See...

I have Slime Smart: slime and compressor bought at Amazon.UK for £25 incl. trp.
Luckily no experience. Slime only for £12. Other similar products on Amazon. Tyre-Sealent - also on Amazon- has a product for pre-treatment of tyre, with slime/gunk. Will not get old, but active if puncture!? Similar to what is claimed for the upcoming version of Hankook Ventus S1 evo-2. |
