emergency tyre repair

Jim 26 February 2005 08:37:54
 I'm in france with survival-only french so was not able to fully understand the
implications of a quick burst tyre repair I've just had carried out to get me
back to base. This particular garage was unable to find a tool to fit these
particular wheel bolts and I couldn't find one in my car kit either so he
squirted a can of gunk into the tyre and when that didn't work used an odd
looking flexible stick of something which was brutally forced into the puncture
and seems to be working. (as will be evident, I haven't a lot of experience
with this sort of thing!).
How long is a fix like this usually good for before I can next get to a properly
equipped garage and replace the wheel? The pressure seemed to be fine after 20
miles or so - what are the chances of another 20miles? Is time itself a factor
whether driving on it or not?

what have others' experiences been?
thanks

Lots of the cheezy self-repair kits I've seen use rubber strips that
look similar to red/black licorice, and only come in one size. I
thought that one of the important things is to get the proper size
for the hole. And the size of the hole often can't be assessed
without seeing the inside of the tire.

I just got a set of Pirelli P Zero Nero M+S tires. Here's what's
not covered under Pirelli's US warranty:

What Is Not Covered By The Warranty?

• Tires improperly repaired or with repairs not conforming to Rubber
Manufacturers Association standards, or with section repairs, or
with self-vulcanizing plug only.

• Tires injected with liquid balancer or sealant or in which anything
other than air has been used as the support medium.
