Has anyone used any of the gel type products you put into the tyre through the valves, which protect against punctures.(not the get you home stuff) . Looking to use in mazda cx 5 . Any good? Where to get it from ? The products for tractors and ag equipment is not rated for cars. What's everyone think? Good idea. As with a lot of cars these days no spare wheel just a can of get you home gunk. Tia.
 
Puncturesafe is the one, no antifreeze in it, just polymers, different grade for cars and off road, it will be ok for thorns etc but the big stuff it too big an ask for the off road stuff, it just pisses out everywhere and makes you angry, but I could fit my thumb in the hole.

No good for on road, but I filled one of our lawn mower tyres up with expanding foam. Needed to top it up a couple of weeks later when the foam had crushed a bit.
But still running ok now months later.
Not sure how I will ever get tyre off if needed though

I bought some of this from eBay, on Brynseiri's suggestion, to put in a quad and trailers that had slow punctures. Fantastic stuff. One quad tyre had 7 or 8 thorns in it, I pulled them ou and the tyre pressure hasn't changed at all in 3 months.:)

linseal is the stuff we use its always been very good although only ever used it on quad bike and other minor stuff. our local tyre place apparently aren't happy chappys if you take one in that's got the stuff in though.

+1 for Linseal - Back in April when cutting logs I got a block jammed in a wheel on my old UTB which half sheared the valve stem off. Tyre would go down inside 15 mins from 20 psi. Easy - just fit a new tube or repair the existing.... except the wheel rim is so rusty that it'll fall to bits as soon as the bead is broken. Eventually I found a rim locally that would fit my UTB centre, but I've needed the tractor every day since to shift ton bags of all-in, cement, blocks etc.
I'd previously used Linseal on quad & rideon mower tyres, so thought I'd give it a try. Carm & Pumsaint Farmers said as soon as they get it in it flies off the shelves, but I managed to find 4 litres between Cross Hands & Carmarthen branches. Result is that the stuff is still in the tube & tyre stays up for about 3 weeks at a time!!! Will put a new tube & new rim on before clearing my ditches but Linseal has been amazing - it's even stood up to moving the back actor about plus a ton bag on the front loader.
N.B. For the attention of the H&S Nazis: this tractor never travels on a public highway.

have used that stuff on quad bikes jeep tires even spiked a tractor tire and it come very close to sealing it even tire fella was impressed how close it cone to fixing the hole

can recall some other stuff (may have been the same stuff ) i seen back around 1991 when in oz guy was sticking pointed screwdrivers in to tires 6 inchs nails etc pull them out and tire sealed also was on a balanceing machine over 20 odd kph the forses spread the product out so tire is balanced not like a jump of lead throwing it out of whack

If it's for car tyres, try an steer clear of the chemical based products, they can damage the tyre if the sealant is in it for too long. Also most tyre companies won't repair a tyre if it's chemical based. They can repair the tyre if it's water based sealant. (I'm on about the stuff you get free in your car boot, instead of spare wheel or space saver)

There are other sealants know as multiseal or oko for slow moving vehicles/implements. It's a lot thicker and works a treat!! There is no limit on how much sealant to put it, more is better of course. But just be sensible on the amount you put in I suppose :)
