:lol: looks like you need another tyre, if your skint then see if you can find one at a scrappy, or just get the cheapest you can fitted, if its only a spare, as long as it gets you to a tyre place :wink:

last time i used it years ago i had to get a new tyre as no one would touch it after i used the stuff

i have been thinking of getting one of these kits
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Top-Motorcycle-Ca ... dZViewItem
and have it in the van at all times
seen one used and dont even have to remove wheel to do a temp/permanent repair , just drill it out , push a plug in and trim level

may not be a legit repair but i would rather get going fast in the rain and cold than unload a van and change a wheel some times it takes around 3 min to do a tyre

not legal to use on a car or van or truck any more.These should only be used on plant machines only as a tempory repair.As at high speed the force can pull the plug out..
