You are right with Ultraseal you do not know you have had a puncture as it seals so quick, we would recommend that the tyres are checked once a week to see nothing is sticking in them, if there is you just pull it out and carry on.
No this did not set out as a company advert if you see how the thread started it has just gathered momentum. As a matter of interest I have not sold any product as a result of his thread.
No misconception at all.

Answer me this though... What is stronger, A) a tyre with no punctures, or B) a tyre with a puncture sealed by ultraseal?

The answer is very obviously A**, a tyre sealed and complete as it left the moulds is stronger than a tyre sealed by a third party gel. I'm not saying that ultra seal is not good at its job, not at all, but a complete unpunctured tyre is far stronger.

Now take the question a stage further, what would you rather drive on when pressing on along a nice twisty country road? A) a complete unpunctured tyre? or B) A tyre that might be punctured and re-sealed without your knowledge?

Again the answer for me is clearly A

If ultraseal was as amazing as the company makes out it would be used in far more applications (racing? Rallying? etc)

**If you think an ultrasealed tyre is as strong as original manufacture then I'm afraid you are deluding yourself. The tyre is by definition compromised and the puncture section will form a weak stress point. I have quite a bit of driving experience on road and track and every single expert I have ever trained with has the exact same opinion on Tyreseal and its like. Don't bother.

Ps. As for this post being an advert? Well the very first post was, I'm afraid, very clearly an advert. you go on about how amazing the stuff is whilst pointing out that you sell it = Advert. sorry, it does.
And the very first reply was....

How much?
and your next reply was....

Just leaving for work but I will work a discount for the group and post tonight
It is at that is the point that the thread came a comercial interest to yourself. Hence my comment that it should be in a comercial section. IMHO
