    i have used a simillar product superseal i never got a puncture had it in my road jeep after many problems with wheel balancing and tremors in the steering i had it removed it wasnt meant to be that bad and the guy who filled the tyres said it would settle it never did.
    cant say wether it was good luck or the super seal that stopped the punctures prob best suited to agricultural vehicles or plant machinery

    Use flat free on a large fleet of golf course machinery and find it fantastic, so i would say this is the same thing

    At the end of the day it largely depends on the amount of time you spend on the road. No product like this can guarentee against punctures.

    Hi
    i have used this stuff for over 8 years in bikes, and never had a puncture.
    am using it in my 1200 bmw, and my van & the wifes Kia, no problems.
    the problem with the other stuff is its not for road use,(it says so on the bottle), so i use that in my lawn tractor

    uncle of mine had it on an 07 astra and it was a disaster. whoever put it in was a cowboy as it made the wheel shake like hell above 60mph.

    Hi
    As this product is only just being brought into Ireland, so it is unlikely that it is Puncturesafe, although there are other puncture preventors on the market, most are for SLOW speed (under 50mph), and should not be used in cars, as they "ball up" and as you say cause wheel wobble/ballance problems.
    But puncturesafe is a thixotropic gel, which means it stays a liquid (apart from the product that is curing the puncture).and is good for speeds upto 150mph (240 kph) and causes no ballance problems.
    and as for curing slow punctures, or "porocity" because it covers the whole of the inside of the tyre, it will cure the minute air loss that over time means that you are running tyres under pressure, which can shorten the life of a tyre by upto 40%, and increase running costs by upto 5%
