Has anybody tried or used this ?
Not sure about a car tyre but i used to use this in my mountain bikes with good effect. Never noticed punctures until you had to remove a tyre and then you would see the plugged holes 
Trouble was that i had to let the tyres down to remove the tyres from the bikes and when you did the sealant would spray out a bit, and sometimes clogged that valve and needed cleaning. Personally i would not bother on a car and it may introduces balancing problems. Corrado Vr6

There are a number of these leak sealers available and if they are installed properly they should not cause any problems with the valve blocking as it stays on the periphery of the tyre ( tread area ) once the vehicle is driven. Once installed the leak sealer needs to be "run in" to allow it to spread round the tyre. With regard to balancing there are no issues and the leak sealer I have used will actually balance the wheels / tyres from new without the need for those horrible lead weights which can easily be lost when off roading, so it provides permanant balancing of the wheels "Never keep up with the Joneses. Drag'em down to your level. It's cheaper".

visiting friends in Market Drayton at the weekend; the police had over 50 reported cases of tyres being slashed including other guests we were with but not the disco (thought they might have a job with ATs?) or our hosts' super low profiles but most others on the road and all through to the other side of town 2007 TDV6 XS Silver
