Watch for corrosion of TPMS sensors, tends to do them in after a year or soDoes any one use puncture prevention sealant in their cars or SUV s . Ie road based vehicles rather than purely farm vehicles
Does it work ? "Air seal" product type stuff .?
It did on my truck. I couldn’t go above 60. Maybe I put too much in.Thought the gunk would knock any road going wheel out of balance

That’s exactly why I believe it’s not approved for road use, if it all sits in one area will put wheel badly out of balance.Thought the gunk would knock any road going wheel out of balance

I have used Oko a lot in bikes and farm kit over the years. I have seen it go into a solid lump once and strip the paint off the wheel!nah, that’s sh!t
It stays liquid so just rolls around the tyre when goung slow, centrifugal force just pushes it all equally to the outside when going faster
I’ve put double the amount recommended in the front tyre of dirt bikes & noticed no problems ( front tyres on bikes really “hop” if out of balance ) up to max speeds of 150km/h
I’ve regularly run it in road going vehicles & never noticed any effect through the steering wheel.
as far as I know ( but I could be wrong ), I haven’t seen anywhere here where it isn’t approved for road use. Certainly haven’t read that on any bottles of the stuff
As long as the actual carcass of the tyre isn’t damaged / the wires bruised or the sidewalls damaged, plugs are a perfectly acceptable repair in a tyre tread.I use the rubber plugs in all types of tubeless tyres big and small. They work well and last the life of the tyre. Think they not approved for road use but can’t see why not and who would know
I agree about how well they work but would be very wary of giving insurance companies a get out clause in the event of an accident even if the plugs weren't the cause.I use the rubber plugs in all types of tubeless tyres big and small.

There is only one word for that tyre..... Shagged!Ok, I might have posted elsewhere about the state of the tyres on my ute.
They’ve been like this for a while . . .
One let go today.
Youve seen pics of the sort of roads I drive on.
I’ve never had a flat with these tyres.
They have obviously reached the end of their life.
You can see the sealant in the tyre
I think they’ve done alright View attachment 1043484View attachment 1043485View attachment 1043486View attachment 1043487View attachment 1043488View attachment 1043489
It doesn’t say you can’t use rubber plugs in an insurance document though.I agree about how well they work but would be very wary of giving insurance companies a get out clause in the event of an accident even if the plugs weren't the cause.
