Hi, need help with one of my car front tyre losing little bit amount of air each day ? I dont want to replace it as its got loads of life left or tread... Anyone recommend me a tyre sealant that actually works? Cheers

Im in coventry. I might probably need 2 cans.. 1 to fix it straight and another 1 backup this weekend drive to CYB.
Is it cheaper than Holts?

It's not like holts - it's a thixotropic liquid that stays in like Slime but has fibres to plug a larger hole that you would get in a car tyre.
Shame you aren't nearer as I have the proper installation kit.
Would have to check the chart to see if the smaller bottles work out cost effective for you.

You can get car tyres repaired, if the puncture is in the centre sections.
Costs about a tenner, iirc

It may be repairable - a decent tyre shop should be able to help and costs <£15.

Sometimes the tyre just needs taking off the rim, cleaned up an put back on again - having that done (and spotting any repairs if it does turn out theres a puncture, and you get a new valve anyway) only costs £15-£20, less if you shop around
