Got a slow leak on one of my front tyres. Not too bad but needs to betopped up very week.To be honest, I think its because the rim of the alloy is slightlydented so its not sitting properly.Someone here in work has suggested getting a can of tyre weld andsticking some of this in to seal up the leak.Does this really work? I dont want to end up knackering the tyrecompletely....

It will work without harming the tyre, but against the idea is the cost of the tyre sealer, and the possible additional cost of cleaning the wheel when a new tyre is eventually fitted.Mike.

DON'T DO IT! I did this a few weeks back and no one will touch the tyre to repair it after that. Cost me £120 for a new tyre.

Depends which goop you use. Some are water soluble and can be washed off.

I used some stuff called Green Slime to fix a slow puncture on a Mini. It worked.
