Are you familiar with products like slime and goop? This looks like a more industrialized version, a version that needs a machine. I am thinking the approach to the puncture problem is similar and therefore so is the product.

In essence, a gooey substance that adheres to the inside of the tire and in the event of a puncture, the outrushing air pushes the goo into the hole and seals it.

Don't know if they work, but I put Goop in my PR3's about a month ago and have not had an opportunity to test (thankfully). I can say that there are no ill effects from running the product.

Never heard of them. I think I would want more info about the product. Is it just a spray? How does it handle tire heat?

Idk Tom, the mechanics frown upon it when they have to change the tire[emoji16]

I thought about that but if it works like they say, then the mechanics need to get over it. It's about our safety, not their convenience. Seems like a sound idea and the videos seem to illustrate that it works well. And after all, it's on the Internet so it MUST be true [emoji1]

I heard about them some years ago and after seeing that in action it convinced me, but... Several people that tried it say it makes the wheel vibrate more.

I guess if you have your tyres balanced after having the rhino "coating" that it's not a problem, but something like goop which you spray into the tyre whilst it is fitted could easily unbalance a tyre, but these things are only meant as a temporary fix, so I guess an unbalanced tyre is better than a flat one.
I think that Rhino tyre might be a good thing to have done if you work near a building site or someplace that has a lot of debris, I've had a couple of flats in the past and it was in one particular place where a lot of Industrial rubbish was thrown in a skip (outside a dry dock for ships), since I've been avoiding this place I've had no problems :thumbup:
