Slime CRK0305-IN Smart Repair Kit, Emergency Flat Tyre Puncture Repair, includes 473mL of Sealant and a Tyre Inflator, suitable for Cars and other Highway Vehicles, 15 Min Fix

I decided to get rid of the run flats on my BMW partly for the ludicrous price and for ride comfort. I was dubious as the whether this would work but I was determined to ditch the run flats, so I thought I'd get one as it's better than nothing. I threw it in the boot and hoped for the best that I would never have to rely on it. However, 50 miles in to a 400 mile journey I got the dreaded warning light shortly followed by the dud dud dud of the tyre deflating. I pulled over as soon as I could and went to check out the tyre and found a 2mm hole in the middle of the tread. I had the sinking feeling as I thought "I hope the free recovery with my bank will cover this" and I don't end up with a £400 bill. I tried out the Slime kit as a last resort more than anything, I really had no faith in it, I thought there's no way a bit of green goo can fix a flat. The instructions are simple and anyone can do it, you literally just drive forward so the hole is at the bottom, use a little plastic tool that comes with the kit to remove the valve core. Take the green goo and connect the tube to the bottle and valve then squeeze the whole bottle in then re-insert the valve core. Connect the compressor and pump up the tyre and watch in amazement as it actually inflates. Once the tyre was at the correct pressure I removed it and waited 5 minutes and re-checked the pressure. Still stunned at how this was working I carefully drove for a mile to the next layby and re-checked it, still working! I finished off the 400 mile journey with no problems and when I arrived I checked the pressure and it hadn't dropped at all. As a bonus the slime is washable and the tyre hadn't suffered any damage so the slime was washed off the the (nearly new) tyre was repaired and as good as new! If there is any minor point I'd say the pump gauge is about 5-10 PSI down from the real reading (I carry a good gauge in my car), and the compressor is a bit slow. These don't matter much and I would still rate this 6 star if I could.

Works well

I bought this as the equivalent tyre sealant supplied by Toyota for my iQ was out of date. Buying a replacement from them was prohibitively expensive. As far as I can tell -having checked the packaging, the items themselves, and the web site for Slime- there is no expiry date on this kit. Also, it fits extremely well into the cut out under the back seat of our iQ so does not rattle around under there. I have heard good things about this stuff from others, hence the reason I bought it. I give it four stars as I have been lucky enough not to have used it yet, despite a recent rear left puncture. It was a large piece of metal from farm machinery lying in the rural road I was using at the time. The tyre would not have inflated the 3 inch hole in the middle of the tread, and it was 3 inches inside the tyre! Carry a spare if you can, I am now as I do not another 4 hour wait to get a tyre changed.

Luckily I haven't had to use the slime it comes with but the pump itself is very easy to use, accurate on PSI readings and very fast. The machine doesn't leak and is just big enough to leave in the glove box. Great quality pump, I am just hoping I don't need to use the slime/foam with it as it is for emergencies only.

Needed this as car too small for a spare wheel. Very handy.

These things go out of date really quickly. I never got the chance to use it (I guess that’s fortunate!) but it went out of date within a year of purchase. After that date I was advised not to use it by my mechanic.

Worth keeping in your boot just incase, reasonable price.

Possiedo un RAV4 e la ruota di scorta è imbullonata all'esterno del portellone posteriore ed è pesantissima. Da tempo volevo sbarazzarmene non solo per il peso ma anche perchè grava sulle cerniere del portellone ogni volta che lo apro. Ho appurato che non è obbligatorio avere a bordo del veicolo la ruota di scorta e quindi ho cercato in Amazon un kit antiforature e tra le varie proposte ho scelto Slime CRK0305-IN. Come sempre Amazon impeccabile con le consegne, effettuato l'ordine il 6 giugno consegnato all'Hub locker Amazon il 7 giugno. Il kit è composto da un flacone di sigillante ed un compressore con manometro. Il compressore va collegato alla presa accendisigari auto da 12 V. Finalmente se dovesse accadere posso riparare il pneumatico in pochi minuti e ripartire senza dover smontare il pneumatico forato e soprattutto senza sporcarmi le mani. Lo consiglio a tutti.

Estupendo, será de gran ayuda para salir de un apuro!!

Wir konnten nach einer Reifenpanne dank dem Pannenset noch von der Autobahn fast 80km bis ins Hotel fahren. 1mal musste nach ca. 50-60km luft nachgefüllt werden, aber das ist zu verschmerzen. Auch gab es eine ziemliche Sauerrei im Radkasten als das Dichtmittel durch das Loch entwichen ist. Was der Reifendienst erst geflucht hat, will ich garnicht wissen. Leider ist der Kompressor ein wenig schwach auf der Brust und auch extrem Laut. Die "Erstbefüllung" habe ich an der Tankstelle vorgenommen, die 2. Befüllung hat am Straßengraben fast 10min. gedauert (195/55R16 Reifen). Aber da man ja zum glück nicht jeden Tag eine Panne hat ist es vollkommen ausreichend. Allerdings würde ich keine Luftmatratze oder Schwimmbecken damit aufpumpen wollen. FAZIT: Wer keinen Ersatzreifen hat und nur ein Loch im Reifen, muss dank dem Reperaturset nicht am Straßengraben auf den ADAC warten sondern im Idealfall zu Hause oder im Hotel.

J’ai hésité longuement à acheter un produit de ce genre, étant souvent sur la route, dans un pays où les station-service sont en générale pas ou équipées de gonfleurs défectueux j’ai été agréable surpris. Pneu de 225 sur grosse berline essais sur aire de repos. Branche sur allume cigare moteur tournant, vérification et repressurisation des pneus en quelques minute. Le manomètre est fiable ayant par la suite effectué une vérification, produit qui peu vous éviter bien des désagréments.

Vandaag gekregen alleen jammer wordt gezegd met opberg tasje maar tasje zit er niet bij
