Has anyone EVER gotten a tyre repair kit to work? (feddit.uk)

Since manufacturers have swapped out spare wheels for tyre emergency kits, I’ve had three punctures. I’ve never gotten a foam repair kit to actually work. 3 attempts, 3 failures.

Has anyone actually got a success story with a foam repair kit?

I’ve bought a spare slim emergency wheel and put it in the wheel well now. Simply cannot be bothered trying and failing with another reinflation foam kit next time a flat tyre occurs.

Use the old school tar twisting thing those work. https://youtube.com/shorts/cXBgZXZtB3o

Looks like the kind of plugs you get for tubeless tyres on bikes, which I guess makes sense on account of how care tyres also are tubeless.
