So yesterday i found out i had a puncture, and called the local garage (Sewells in Billingham) who suggested i put some Slime 'quick spair' in my tyre, despite the bottle claiming that it was only a temporary fix and should only be used until somebody can permenantly fix the puncture (which i cant locate, and ive already checked the valve)

The bottle also said not to use it on vehicles with less than 4 tyres.

Despite this i put it in anyway (what other options did i have?)

The garage insist that it will be fine as a permenant solution and will fix any further problems.

Is this true? or do i need to get this stuff out my tyre and replace it with puncturesafe ASAP?

Cheers,
VD

If it's small enough that you can't find the leak, I've seen plenty of people use this as a permanent solution.

Possible you could be risking a blow out, but not heard of that happening.

With some of the enduro tubless systems they suggest using this to help seal it as a matter of course.
