Default Anyone Ever Use Permaseal for Tires

Saw it on Jay Leno's garage and it looks pretty interesting.

Will it cause trouble when you change tires on the rim?

Don't see how it would work with LTPWS sensors and if Leno was concerned, he could certainly afford a set of Run Flats - hell, probably have them custom built for anything he owns. . .

It does indeed seem interesting, especially for us using non run-flats.
But, my father warned me about something seeming 'too good to be true'.
I wish Jay Leno would do a 'follow up' video, of his experience with permaseal in his own vechicle....

I wonder if this is a new product? How long has it been on the market? I'm surprised that more Vette owners haven't tried it. So, maybe in time, some will. And then give us the real verdict, instead of having to just rely on advertisements.

I'd love to hear from some guys, with actual hands on use of this product in their Corvette...

I'm not sure if it is the same product, but we used to use something like that in my Sons dirt bike. It would seal up almost anything that went in through the tire, but those tires also had a tube inside them. We had to change a tire once because of wear and it had all kinds of thorns, pieces of wire and other junk stuck through it and into the tube. It sealed it pretty good, but was messy. Some of the sealant had naturally seeped out of the many holes and into the tire. Since we had to replace the tire, we put in a new tube as well, so I cut open the old tube: BIG MESS! I don't think I would want that inside a tubeless tire, not only because of the mess but for balance also. That mobile blob of snot would constantly be roving around in there. Didn't mater on a slow little dirt bike, but I think it would be a big problem inside a high speed highway going tire.
Just my 2 cents worth.

I have used a product like this but only in low speed , turf or off road tires. If you ever have to dismount the tire it is a mess and the product can be corrosive with steel rims.

I have used a product like it on my riding mower tires. It does work good on them but has a disclaimer to warn the tire changer that you have used it.

Same here,

I had an old tractor, used something like it, but I never tried to get it up to 90 plus on a lawn, and I dont think I would want to bet my life, or my wifes on it.
