Re: no spare wheel?

I had similar stuff for my moutain bike called slime years ago, didn't realise car versions were now available, will def get some for the X5 at £275+ for a RF tyre ita a no brainer

You bringing your half empty glass to be table again? ::)
I've been using this stuff for a few years on both RFT and non RFT as well as my caravan with no ill effects to date. It isn't the holy grail to solve all punctures but along with the puncture repair kit and a compressor, I feel I'm pretty well sorted. I may add the spare wheel later in the year, but then again that's what the AA or RAC are for.

Re: no spare wheel?
You'd think somebody like BMW would have brought this to the table instead of the stupid run flats if that was the case or more so their competitors as a substitute for RFT

I'm not sure how old the you tube clip of tomorrow's world is, but these products must have been around pre 2000s. Agree that it's strange that someone hasn't brought this to market as OEM. Possibly pressure from tyre makers not to push as early wear and tear must be big business in the tyre industry.
