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.

You are bloody unlucky to have 3 tyre punctures in the last little while! In 20 years of driving, I've had 3 punctures. Are you purposefully driving over sharp gravel or am I particularly lucky?!?

Two potholes and one just out of the blue on the motorway. It does seem statistically high, agree.
