Tire sealant products, often marketed for emergency temporary repairs, offer a limited-mobility solution for punctured tires. These products are designed to seal small punctures and inflate the tire sufficiently to allow the vehicle to be driven a short distance, typically to a tire repair shop or a safe location for a more permanent repair.
The availability of such emergency repair solutions offers drivers valuable peace of mind and enhanced safety in the event of a flat tire, particularly in remote locations or during inclement weather. Historically, drivers faced more significant challenges with flat tires, requiring often strenuous roadside tire changes. These sealants offer a significantly less arduous and faster temporary solution. This convenience, however, comes with limitations in range and speed.
