It knackers the tyre as they cant remove it from the inside to repair the original puncture,emergency use only, i used it on a motorbike tyre it got us home but the repairable puncture couldnt be done as i had used Tyre weld.

Cheers!

In that case I will keep the spare in the boot rather than replacing it with a can of tyre weld.

I think tyre companys hate Tyre weld as I believe (not haveing used it) it leaves a layer of "gunk" on the wheel rim that they have to clean off before fitting a new tyre.

Plus, as stated above. You can't repair ANY puncture that Tyre weld has been used on!!!
