It is possible that some tires, especially
with larger punctures or damage to the sidewall, cannot be sealed completely.
Air pressure loss in the tire may ad‐
versely affect tire performance.
For this reason, you should avoid
abrupt steering or other driving ma‐ neuvers, especially if the vehicle is
heavily loaded or if a trailer is in use.
The TMK is not designed or intended as
a permanent tire repair method and is to be used for one tire only.This instruction shows you step by step
how to temporarily seal the puncture
simply and reliably.
