Since manufacturers have swapped out spare wheels for tyre emergency kits, I’ve had three punctures. I’ve never gotten a foam repair kit to actually work. 3 attempts, 3 failures.
Has anyone actually got a success story with a foam repair kit?
I’ve bought a spare slim emergency wheel and put it in the wheel well now. Simply cannot be bothered trying and failing with another reinflation foam kit next time a flat tyre occurs.
Only time I had the option to my rim was bent so the kit didn’t help. I hit a pothole and it somehow punctured the sidewall and bent the rim. Ended up buying 4 aftermarket rims because Kia wanted to charge $600 for one rim. Aftermarket was way cheaper.
My last one was a pot hole as well - I expected the lads putting on the new tyre to tell me something had bent/buckled but everything balanced really easy.
