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.

I tried to get this to work a few months ago and failed as well. Granted I had a 2-3cm hole in my tire. It kinda worked when I rotated the tire so that the hole was at the bottom... But the hole was just too big for the foam.

The tow truck guy told me those kits only work with tiny nicks.
