tire sealant Buyer’s Guide

Don’t get deflated

Some dos and donts and hints and tips about setting up tubeless tyres.

This guide covers such stuff like: things you can do to get your tyre to seal properly when first setting up, why wetting the tyre bead is a good idea, reasons for removing the valve core, the benefits of tubeless inflators, when to replace old sealant, how to deal with tubeless troubles on the trail.

Continental’s GP Season

Making a puncture-resistant road tyre means finding a balance between building a something that’s tough enough to handle broken tarmac and road debris but that doesn’t makes you feel as though you’re constantly riding into a headwind.

Continental’s Grand Prix Season strikes that balance perfectly thanks to its tear-resistant DuraSkin carcass being supple enough to feel fast and lively, and the Vectran breaker strip under the tread to keeps sharp debris at bay.

It’s light and rolls well enough for wet-weather racing and has a specific winter grip rubber compound so you don’t have to back off too much when you’re cornering in the worst conditions.

Continental’s Gatorskin

Continental’s Gatorskin is one of our favourite training tyres. It’s very quick and tough enough for winter riding, audax and fast commuting – so long as you’re running the right tyre pressure and remove any debris embedded in the tread.

The Hardshell version has a bit more puncture protection and slightly longer wear life than the standard Gatorskin by virtue of a bit more tread rubber, a wider polyester breaker strip under the tread and a three-ply rather than two-ply polyamide casing.

They’re not the lightest tyres around at 273g, but they roll surprising well in spite of that puncture protection and beefy tread.

Clinchers are the most common tyre setup, and make use of both an outer tyre and the inner tube that is used to inflate it. The tyre is fitted in place via a bead (wired or foldable) that hooks onto the rim of the wheel, while the tube sits inside this with a valve that protrudes through a pre-cut hole in the wheel rim.

Tubeless

As the name implies, the tubeless system needs no tube. In order to achieve a sealed inflation, the tyre and the rim are made in such a way that fitting them together provides an airtight seal, as opposed to a clincher system, which doesn’t.

As a result, special tyres and rims are necessary to have a tubeless setup – although in an increasing number of cases wheels are made ‘tubeless-ready’, so they rim hooks capable of providing an airtight seal and are supplied with rim tape complete the setup. Historically, tubeless has been the preserve of mountain bikers, but is emerging more and more on the road scene too.

Tubular

Tubulars are tyres that, like tubeless, require a specific type of rim, with the tyre literally glued to it. A tubular tyre has a tube within the construction of the tyre, and as a result the construction of these tyres can be quite complex, despite looking simple on the outside. Tubulars are commonly seen on racer’s bikes, with almost universal use throughout the pro peloton in races.

Continental Grand Prix

Continental is a complete bike tire company.  They have a lineup of products that would make most cyclist more than satisfied.  The company aims to revolutionize the tire industry by its special rubber mixture produced only in their factory in Germany. On the other hand, BlackChili compounds used in the making of this tire reduce the rolling resistance by 26% compared the average silica compounds.

We like the

Grand Prix 4000, a tire that has stood the test of time and shows excellent durability despite its speed and softness of ride.  They are a little more expensive than the other options, but given their excellent durability we would not think twice about spending the money.

Fortezza Quattro. Quality and tough build. Ideal for extreme road and weather conditions.

Fortezza Quattro

Weakness.  Despite being the first choice for many professional riders, Fortezza Quattro is quite heavier than the modern day tires. The modern tires are as light as feathers, and a lighter tire gives you better acceleration on the track than a heavier one.

Swing Arm Tire Changers

Swing arm tire changers are engineered especially to handle today’s toughest tires. They feature an easy to use adjustable tabletop providing wider clamping range. These tire changers have four tabletop jaws that adjust simultaneously for mistake free clamping and their hi-grip jaw covers add mounting torque which will protect your wheels. Swing arm tire changers require unscrewing the head in order to fit different size tires hence it takes up a little more time but are equally as efficient. Swing arm tire changers are easier to use and are more affordable but might not be as convenient as tilt back tire changers.

Tilt Back Tire Changers

Tilt back tire changers are known for being a bit more practical as well as easier to use but are more expensive than their swing arm relatives. They allow you to fit tires in an easier manner because the towers tilt back allowing you to fit bigger tires there. When you’re ready the towers move back into place.

Manual Tire Changers

Motorcycle Tire Changers

When we say voltage more specifically we mean whether the tire changer you need will be 110V or 220V. Tire changerscome with either 110V or 220V but there is not really a huge difference between the two. Both types consume the same wattage but keep in mind that a 220V machine will run at half the amperage.

A major advantage when it comes to selecting voltage is (according to Mr. Jeff Kritzer senior VP of marketing for Bendpak Products) when servicing heavy wall truck tires or performance tires, the turntable tends to stall and a machine that runs on 220V will have a better chance of restarting and continuing after said stall. This is why owning a 220V machine are becoming more and more important as the years go by. Light duty vehicles mostly come with aluminum rims, they all come with TPMS sensors and many of them come with run-flat tires.

When placing the tire (even when the rim is properly secured and the tire has enough lube on the bead) the turntable might stop turning if the technician takes his foot off the pedal. He will sometimes need to do this if the tension from the bead pulls the mount head into the rim (this causes damage) and other times, he might stop to adjust his tire bar to avoid tearing the bead. This is when 220V machines prove to be most useful. 220V tire changers with the appropriate assist arms help prevent damage to the rim because it allows the user to move the turntable even as the bead gets tighter. This enables said technician to be able to make adjustments without having to worry about the turntable not rotating afterwards. This also eliminates the need to have another technician help spin the tire as the turntable struggles to rotate.

What we’re trying to say here is if your garage or shops’ electrical supply is up to the task, you should go with a 220V machine. 110V tire changers do save electricity but in the long run the capacity of a 220V machine makes them more efficient.

The weight saving benefit is easily quantifiable. To iron-clad the seal between tubeless tyre and rim, it is recommended that tubeless sealant, or ‘milk’, is added into the tyre cavity.

An average tube weighs around 100g and the weight of 30ml of sealant, the generally-agreed upon amount necessary to add, is 30g.

Over two wheels that is a 140g saving. Admittedly tubeless tyres are slightly heavier than their clincher counterparts – by around 30g per tyre, yet switching to tubeless still usually results in a net weight loss of around 100g.

Greater comfort

The tyres and tubes of a clincher system rubbing against each other not only slows you down, they are also less able to cope with an imperfect road surface.

Tubeless tyres can deform around the micro-obstacles of tarmac more readily and as there is no risk of a pinch flat (because there is no tube to pinch) they can be run at a lower pressure, further smoothing out your ride.

Better puncture protection

A happy by-product of their heavier weight is tubeless tyres’ better resistance to punctures. However, further decreasing the chance of a flat is the second function of the sealant.

It not only prevents air leaking from the tyre, but in the event of a foreign object piercing the tyre (for example a sharp stone or thorn) some of the sealant is forced out of the hole created by the pressure differential between the inside of the tyre and the outside world.

The sealant contains solid flakes of material that act like the platelets in your blood: they clog up the hole, sealing the puncture usually before much pressure is lost from the tyre.

Bid farewell to those occasions by the side of a road on a grotty morning in February, trying to change a tube with numb hands.

How to go tubeless

Admittedly the tubeless systems of a few years past were tricky to set up, but thanks to the determined refinement of a few wheel and tyre brands modern systems really are no harder to get rolling than a regular clincher setup.

The first job is to fix the tubeless-specific valve through the wheel rim. These valves have a removable core that allows sealant to be poured into the tyre once it is seated on the rim.

Next it is a case of mounting the tyre as you would a regular clincher. The necessity for an airtight seal might make the tyre harder to get onto the rim than usual, however it can usually be coaxed on with the help of some levers or a pair of particularly strong thumbs.

The tyre has to be visually inspected to ensure it is evenly seated on the wheel. Look for the same depth of tyre wall visible around the entire wheel: any dips will highlight areas where the tyre bead hasn’t seated up against the rim properly.

Unscrew the valve core and squeeze/pour/inject sealant into the tyre cavity – the sealant manufacturer will provide guidelines on a suggested method.

Replace the valve and re-inflate the tyre. Holding the wheel in both hands tilt, shake and turn it for a few minutes to ensure the interior is coated in sealant.

Dribbles of sealant may escape the rim in this process but it can be easily cleaned up and will stop once the airtight seal is established.

Rest the wheel horizontally and leave for an hour or two. This will allow the sealant to settle and consolidate the coating within the tyre.

Tires can lose air pressure so gradually that many drivers aren’t aware of it.

If you drive a car, it’s likely that you’ll find a portable tire inflator handy. That’s because all tires lose air pressure for various reasons, whether slowly, due to the normal seepage of air through the tire’s rubber, or more quickly, due to a slow leak or a drop in the ambient air temperature. And having a small air compressor to inflate the tires is the quickest and easiest way to set them right. It keeps you from having to drive to a gas station to add air—and hope that the weather isn’t bad … and that the station has an air compressor that’s working … that isn’t too grimey … and doesn’t cost much money.

Keeping your tires properly inflated is a real safety concern. As we describe in our guide to buying tires, tires can lose air pressure so gradually that many drivers aren’t aware of it. And underinflated tires can be a safety risk, making your car handle poorly, making it harder to keep control when swerving to avoid an obstacle in the road, or by causing a tire to fail—and possibly cause a blowout—due to overheating. Underinflated tires also use more energy, which hurts your car’s fuel economy.

Most experts recommend checking your tires’ pressure at least once per month with a good tire-pressure gauge, and more often if you have a slow leak. As a backup, all new cars now come with a tire-pressure monitoring system (TPMS) that’s designed to alert you if a tire’s pressure drops by about 2percent. If a tire warning light goes on in the dash, having a tire inflator handy makes this a quick fix rather than an inconvenient trek.

These portable air compressors are also handy for other uses, such as inflating the tires on bicycles, recreation vehicles, trailers, riding lawn mowers, and even wheelbarrows. Because they come with extra inflator tips, they can also quickly pump up basketballs, footballs, soccer balls, and the like, or be used for inflatable mattresses, toys, yard decorations, or other inflatable items you have around.

How we picked and tested

Most of the tire inflators we tested simply plug into a car’s 12-volt power outlet, which makes them convenient to carry around for quick top-ups while on the go.

We tested three models that connect directly to a car’s battery, which is handy when a vehicle doesn’t have a DC power outlet, such as with recreational vehicles, off-roaders, and work vehicles.

Three of the models we tested can be plugged into a household AC outlet, which makes them easy to use around a garage or with an extension cord.

We started by spending several days researching the category, reviewing existing articles about portable air compressors (there aren’t many), and comparing the specs and features of about 50 different models at varying prices and using different power sources. We narrowed that list to the most promising ones by eliminating models that didn’t seem to provide enough useful features for the money, aren’t readily available from mainstream retailers, or had few or subpar user reviews.

We tested several combo models that can be used to jump-start a car as well as inflate tires. This included two large units with lead-acid batteries (left) and a small lithium-ion model that comes as a kit (right).

In choosing models that are best for most drivers, we leaned toward ones that plug into a car’s 12-volt outlet. That’s because they tend to be more compact and easier to carry around in a vehicle and still deliver good performance. The heavier-duty models that connect to a car’s battery are generally good performers, but they are larger and pricier and many people aren’t comfortable getting under the hood to connect a device to the battery.

We then gathered 1inflators to test and put each through a series of tests that let us assess them on key criteria.

To gauge the accuracy of the inflators’ gauges, we filled our tires to a specific pressure and then checked them with a separate digital tire-pressure gauge. The better models were very close, but others were off by several psi.

Gauge accuracy: An accurate gauge is important for precisely inflating your tires to the desired pressure (or for the compressor’s auto-shutoff to kick in at the right time). We measured this by filling the test tires to their recommended pressure, as indicated on each inflator’s gauge, and then double-checking the tire pressure with a separate digital tire-pressure gauge. Relatively few inflator gauges were spot-on with our gauge, but most were within psi of the indicated pressure.

This chart shows how far off a unit’s gauge was, compared with our digital tire-pressure gauge, when showing 3psi (or as close as we could assess on hard-to-read gauges). We found that several models were more accurate when the compressor was stopped than when running. The gauges of the PowerStation PSX-and the Craftsman 12V Portable Inflator showed the same PSI as our control gauge.

We did find that a number of units give you different readings, depending on whether the air compressor is running or stopped. When this is the case, stopping the inflator gave us the most accurate results. When the Slime 2X Tire Inflator (40026) showed 3psi on its gauge while running, for example, we measured only 2on our digital tire-pressure gauge. But if we stopped the device and checked, we measured a much better 31.

Gauge legibility: Knowing when to stop is crucial for accurately inflating your tires, so you want your pressure gauge to be legible. The compressors with smaller gauges that go up to 200, 250, or even 300 psi tend to be the most difficult because the numbers are squeezed too closely. Adding to the problem is that some units don’t have markings between the 5- or 10-psi increments, so stopping the inflator at, say, 3psi, takes some guesswork. Digital readouts tend to be easier to read. Illumination is also a nice bonus.

The gauges on some models, such as this 300-psi AAA Air Compressor (left), have cramped scales that are hard to read. Trying to get, say, 3psi can be a challenge. The one on the Viair 88P (right), with markings every psi, is much easier.

Inflation time: If you need to adjust a tire’s inflation pressure, you want to get it done as quickly as possible. We timed how long each unit took to inflate two different tires to their recommended pressure. The first was a 15-inch tire from a midsize car that was completely flat and needed to be inflated to 3psi. The second was an underinflated 20-inch tire from a large SUV that simulated one that triggered a tire-pressure warning light in the dash and needed to be inflated from 2psi to 3psi. This is a common scenario, because all new cars now come with a TPMS that typically alerts drivers if a tire’s pressure drops by 2percent.

This chart shows how quickly our tested models filled our flat tire to 3psi, as indicated on their gauges. We left out models whose gauges measured more than psi off, compared with our reference digital tire-pressure gauge.

Heavier-duty models that connect directly to a battery’s terminals were the quickest for inflating the flat tire, all in under minutes. Among less expensive, more mainstream models, our top pick, the Viair 77P was quickest at a little under minutes. Most models ranged from about to minutes, although the lithium-ion-powered Bolt Power took about 10.minutes and the small Slime Tire Top Off (40020) required more than 1minutes. Inflating the “low” tire typically took about 1½ to minutes.

We found plug-on-style hose connectors a little quicker to use than screw-on versions. A problem with some models was stuffing the cord and/or hose back into a small cavity for storage.

Hose and power cord length: We didn’t have any trouble reaching all four tires on our test vehicles with any of the models. But longer hoses and cords give you more flexibility for different situations. Hose length varied from only inches to a lengthy 30 feet, with most models having hoses that stretched 1to 2inches. The power cords ranged from 2inches to 1feet, although most had power cords that extended a reasonable to 1feet. The only problems we saw were with models that made it hard to stow the cord or hose when not in use. Some units include a storage cavity that’s too small, and we had to stuff the hose or cord in to keep it from dangling.

Portability: Most of the units we tested are pretty light, with the smallest weighing less than a pound and the heaviest—the PowerStation PSX-combo model—weighing more than 1pounds. Most weigh about to pounds. Some models are also easier to carry than others; a handle or carrying case is a welcome feature.

As part of our tests, we weighed each model and took sound readings from two feet away while they were operating.

Noise level: When kneeling over an inflator, keeping an eye on the inflation pressure, a noisy compressor can get annoying. That’s why we measured the sound level of each unit while operating from a distance of two feet (where your head might be when looking at the gauge). We saw the lowest noise level from our top pick, the Viair 77P, which we measured at only 6decibels, or about the same level as an air conditioner or vacuum cleaner. All of the others were much louder, ranging from 7to 8decibels. The latter is four times as loud as the 77P and about the same level as an idling bulldozer or a diesel truck driving past from 50 feet away.

Some tire inflators tended to “walk around” on the pavement due to their vibration. This was annoying and made it harder to read the gauge.

Build quality: Most of the models we considered were plenty sturdy, but there were some exceptions. On the chintzier end, some vibrated so much that they “walked around” a bit while operating, which made reading the gauge difficult.

Continuous run time: Though we didn’t measure the duty cycle of our models, we did note how long you can run the units continuously, according to the manufacturers, before you need to shut them off and let them cool down. That’s because compressors heat up during use, and they can be damaged if they overheat. Most manufacturers advise not to run the units continuously for more than to 1minutes, after which you should let them cool for about to 30 minutes. The most notable exceptions were the Viair models, which can run for about 2to 40 minutes, depending on the model. A couple also include a thermal shutoff to further protect them from damage.

The Viair 77P comes with a soft carrying case, which makes it easy to stow the unit in the car. It’s a tight fit to get everything stuffed in, but the case is handy.

Despite its strong performance, the 77P, which plugs into a car’s 12-volt power outlet, is pretty compact. At inches long and about inches tall, it’s about the size of a couple external desktop hard drives placed side by side. So, it won’t take up much room in your car’s trunk or cargo area if you want to carry it in your vehicle. Its 45-inch air hose is one of the longest of the models we tested, and its 16-foot power cord is the longest. These make reaching any tire on a typical passenger vehicle easy. The handy case—with an internal pocket for holding small items—keeps everything contained and makes it easy to carry around. But it’s snug; The unit, cord, and hose fit in with little wiggle room.

In contrast with the plastic cases of most of the other models, the 77P’s solid metal casing gives a reassuring impression of quality. It’s accented with plastic trim that has a tasteful matte texture. Extra needles are held in place at the base. And flexible rubber “feet” kept the 77P from moving around on the asphalt when operating (again, some models tended to walk around on the pavement, which didn’t affect their performance but was annoying). The 77P also has a work light integrated into the end of the case, which is handy in low-light situations.

The Viair 77P has an illuminated gauge on top that’s divided into 2-psi increments and is easy to read. It goes up to 80 psi, which is fine for passenger cars, but will limit it for some other uses.

Flaws but not dealbreakers

As mentioned above, the only notable drawback with the Viair 77P is that its pressure gauge goes up to only 80 psi, yet most others we looked at go up to 120 psi or higher. If you’ll use it to inflate car tires, that’s not a problem. But that gauge won’t help you when inflating the tires of some bicycles or RVs that need to go over that figure. Viair’s website says that the 77P is intended to inflate tires up to size 225/60R1(1inches in diameter), but we see that as conservative. We used it on larger 20-inch SUV tires with no problem.

This easy-to-use inflator has a removable digital tire-pressure gauge that goes up to 250 psi of pressure. It also has auto shutoff.

If you want an inflator with a gauge that goes higher than 80 psi, we recommend the BonAire AirTech Professional (model ATP50). It has a digital tire-pressure gauge that goes up to 250 psi and can be removed from the unit for checking tires separately. The gauge’s digital display is easy to read, showing the pressure in 0.5-psi increments. In our tests it was also one of the more accurate gauges in the group, although we had to turn off the compressor to get an accurate reading. Otherwise it read psi or so high, which the instructions attribute to air-hose back pressure.

You can remove the digital gauge on this BonAire inflator to check tire pressures separately. This is also one of only three models we tested with a handy auto-shutoff feature, which you set by using the buttons on top.

The BonAire provided decent inflation times: about 6 minutes for our flat tire and about 2½ minutes for our underinflated tire. It has a long, 25½-inch air hose, and the hose, cord, and extra needles are easy to store in the case (something we can’t say about many models). The BonAire is also one of only three models in our test group that have an automatic shutoff, so you can set it up, turn it on, and walk away. That’s a nice feature that we expected to find on more models. The BonAire doesn’t have a work light, though, so you’ll need your own light if working in the dark. We also tested the Craftsman 12V Portable Inflator, which is virtually identical to the BonAire and gave us slightly quicker inflation times. The Craftsman is another good choice if the BonAire is unavailable or priced higher.

If you’re really pinched for cash, we recommend the Slime Tire Inflator (40032), which is one of the least expensive models we tested (although not as good of an overall value as the Viair 77P). This compact, lightweight unit is more user-friendly than other budget-priced models, with a bright work light and integrated handle for easy carrying. The gauge is large and divided into 2½-psi increments, which makes reading precise pressures easier than with many models. It goes up to only 100 psi, though, which is fine for passenger vehicles but too low for some bicycles or other applications.

The Slime Tire Inflator has an easy-to-read gauge, but stuffing the air hose and power cord back into the small storage cubby was a bit of a challenge.

If you don’t want to be tied to a plug-in power source, we suggest considering the Slime Rechargeable Tire Inflator (40033). This dual-power unit has an internal lead-acid battery that lets you use it without having to mess with a power cord. This is convenient when you don’t have a vehicle or AC outlet nearby, or you just want to be able to grab it and connect, without a lot of fuss or time. You’re also still covered if its battery gets too run down to operate the compressor, because you can also plug the unit into a car’s 12-volt power outlet for juice. We tested two other models with internal lead-acid batteries, but this was the smallest, lightest, and easiest to store in a car.

With its internal battery, the Slime Rechargeable Tire Inflator lets you top up a tire without having to connect to a power source.

The lithium-ion–powered Bolt Power D28A is another lightweight, cordless model, but the Slime Rechargeable is much quicker and easier to use for inflating tires. It has a 24-inch air hose that has an integrated gauge and is easy to store in the case. The power cord is a relatively short feet, inches, but hopefully you won’t need to use it that much. The 120 psi gauge is easy to read, although it has no markings between the 5-psi increments. One drawback is that the unit doesn’t have a work light.

Product details

Take care of tire punctures before they happen, with Slime Tubeless Tire Sealant. Slime’s Fibro-Seal Technology seeks out punctures as they occur to repair flats before you even know they happened. As the Slime-treated tire rotates, the sealant is pushed to the tread area to create a layer of protection, repairing punctures as they occur or treating existing punctures. Slime utilizes a state-of-the-art blend of environmentally friendly fibers, binders, polymers and proprietary congealing agents which intertwine and clot within the puncture. This Fibro-Seal lattice, together with the viscous delivery system (the “green” goo) seeks out and tightly packs itself into the puncture, preventing and repairing flats with a flexible, long-lasting plug. Slime Sealant can be pre-installed into any tubeless tire, but is recommended as a repair-only in passenger vehicle tires.

My car only has a puncture repair kit

According to a recent Which? survey, more than half of new cars come with a tyre repair kit rather than a spare wheel.

The reasons for this include weight, fuel consumption, space and cost, but the upshot is that you’re less likely to get back on the road after a blowout.

That’s because repair kits – which use foam sealant to temporarily plug a hole – aren’t suitable for all types of punctures.

If you have a rip in the tyre sidewall, a hole over 4mm in the tread or the wheel itself is damaged, the kit is unlikely to work.

Locate the puncture

Examine the tyre carefully to find the puncture, bearing in mind the notes above on tyres that can’t be repaired.

If you spot a nail or piece of glass in the tyre, leave it there; removing it may simply make the hole bigger.
