If you ever had a tyre puncture, you know that it's a harrowing and annoying matter. The car starts to wobble, the steering goes off, and you curse and swear and ask yourself why this has to happen to you, especially if you are in a foreign land.

How many people actually know how to fix a tyre puncture? After all, it's not a skill that is taught or regularly used, so you can't be blamed if you've never touched a car jack and tyre wrench before.

Of course, you could (and probably will) call a tow truck if the puncture is serious and the car cannot be driven anymore. But what if we told you there was another way? The alternative is to use a tyre sealant. For most people, the notion of a tyre sealant is a temporary fix until you can get the tyre replaced. Now, TireCare is introducing a new kind of tyre sealant that promises to be a big problem solver - a tyre sealant that offers a permanent fix.

The only permanent tyre sealant

TireCare Sealant is made using natural rubber latex, plant extract and nano fibre. It is a completely organic and eco-friendly product that is non-toxic, non-hazardous and non-corrosive. As a result, it does not damage your tyres, rims or tyre pressure monitoring system.

The sealant works using centrifugal force (as the wheels turn when you are driving) to coat the entire inside surface of the tyre. When there is a puncture, the nano fibre in the sealant will react with the rubber to seal up the puncture wound. And unlike temporary sealant, which requires you to change the tyre as soon as possible, TireCare Sealant allows you to carry on using your tyres as per normal. The sealant is also capable of dealing with multiple punctures.

Peace of mind 24/7

The application of TireCare Sealant is fairly straightforward, especially if you have the TireCare Revival Kit (which contains two 400ml bottles of TireCare Sealant, a high powerair compressor, a valve core removal tool, an injector tube, an owner's manual and a warranty card).

There are two ways you can use TireCare Sealant. You can use it upon puncture or also as a preventive solution prior to a puncture.

For the former, all you need is the TireCare Revival Kit. Upon puncture, stop the car safely on the roadside. Deflate the tyre by removing the valve core. Next, inject the TireCare sealant into the tyre via the valve. Lastly, inflate the tyre using the high power air compressor and resume your journey. With the TireCare Revival Kit in your boot, you have the assurance of a cost effective hassle-free puncture solution when you need it - backed with a five year warranty.

Alternatively, you can use TireCare Sealant as a preventive solution. This means that when you change a new set of tyres, immediately apply the sealant into your tyres. In the event of a puncture,the sealant will automatically seal up the puncture wound within seconds, and there's a good chance you may not even know that you had a puncture in the first place! Additionally, with the sealant inside the tyre, it will hydrodynamically balance your tyres - adjusting and rebalancing your tyres automatically as you drive.

TireCare Singapore has also partnered with the Automobile Association of Singapore (AA) for a limited time promotion. Every purchase of a TireCare Revival Kit gets you a free one year AA ordinary membership worth $112.35, providing you with 24/7 roadside assistance for flat battery, engine breakdown and etc, as well as application of TireCare sealant in the event of a tyre puncture should you prefer not to do it yourself.
