When punctured, they provide extended mobility in a “limp-home” mode at reduced speed and for a limited distance, much like a temporary spare tire—without the need to perform the dirty task of changing the tire. But run-flats can contribute to a firmer ride in general, and they are often expensive to replace and difficult to find in a hurry.

Sealants coat the inside of the tire and wheel with a messy residue, which a tire shop has to clean out, possibly causing extra expense. They can potentially gum up the tire-pressure monitor sensor (TPMS), if so equipped, risking erroneous readings. Most products specifically claim that they are TPMS safe. Here’s how it works. Step 1: Remove the valve core from your tyre’s valve stem. Step 2: Squeeze in the emergency repair tyre sealant. Step 3: Re-insert the valve core. Step 4: Inflate your tyre with the included tyre inflator. Once you’ve found the puncture, you can re-position the wheel by driving forward a little to make it easier to repair.
