Hi, thinking of having my tyres done with this product Link Removed so I can take my spare out to increase my pay load. Anyone had it done and would you reccomend it?

Hi, Had my last motorhome tyres sealed. Still had to carry spare in case a puncture damaged the side walls.Hi, thinking of having my tyres done with this product Link Removed so I can take my spare out to increase my pay load. Anyone had it done and would you reccomend it?

As well as solidify somewhat and give you a bit of a wheel wobble.
The old tyres were sealed and a total of 17 nails had penetrated the tyres but no puncture was recorded.

Gonna fly in the face of all I am afraid..
As far as I am concerned the crap should be banned world wide.
It was developed for tractors and slow moving vehicles,, Although it is sold to motorcyclists it is known to have caused accidents .. and severe accidents too.
Ok, I appreciate the issue the bikers suffer from ( a bike can out accelerate the bloody stuff ... In other words the wheel can turn faster than the goop does and that causes MASSIVE inbalances ) is not really likely to affect motorhome owners but here is a little something ( or two ) to consider
1) Every single mainstream tyre manufacturer has stated catagorically they will not cover any warranty claim if the tyre has Ultraseal or one of the other goops that are similar in them.
Avon went as far as to say they have had reports of delamination as a direct result of the stuff being used.
2) And this one is a cracker.. Most of the adverts say it has been tested up to 150mph ( or similar.. Now go take another look and see if you can see any of the results of the tests..
You won't.. reason being the poxy stuff failed every independant test ever performed..
And that last post above this says it all...
Just how much damage had been done to the carcass of that tyre ? Perhaps you folks think that 17 nails ( at least ) going through the cords is fine.
I know how I feel about it.
Perhaps the person has never had an explosive decompression caused by chatastrophic failure of the cords holding the tyre togther at about 70 MPH .. One day he may do and then he too will know why the stuff should be banned !
As I say, sorry to fly in the face and I do appreciate it is a very popular thing to have done.
But as a professional ( albeit in a field where the vehicles are errrr... well a tad quicker than our motorhomes, I have no ethical option but to lay it on the line.

Quite obviously you sell the stuff so are rolling out the company blurb..
I really do not wish to get into a row on here and as such would suggest that when we meet up ( bound to happen at one of the rallies sometime this year ), we draw a bevy and sit down to make our points to each other ( possibly with loud hailers just in case.. !)
One thing I would say though...
I have worked with Bridgestone ( one of the firms you reckon says it is ok ) and am still working with Avon. I have contacts in Dunlop and two other tyre manufacturing organisations..
Bridgestone have repeatedly and with considerable vigour told all their dealers that should a tyre be found to have Ultraseal or any other similar product in it they should not do any warranty work as the guarantee is invalid.
Avon has said the same
Yet you name Bridgestone as saying they agree with its use ????
Your company has already been taken to task over this issue by Bridgestone and I will be bringing it to the attention of Bryn Phillips ( Technical & Sales Executive ) at our next meeting. Methinks someone is not going to be best pleased that the same information is being given out several years after it was agreed it would stop !
Make of that what you will
