Unless you have purchased a separate brand of tire sealant that is specifically recommended for such use, adding anything can dilute the tire sealant and inhibit any or all sealing capabilities. 4. Does it matter if the tire is tube or tubeless? Although some tire sealants will work in both types of tires, many do not. If a sealant does, the hole size that can be sealed for a tube type tire is usually reduced to a maximum of 1/8. Therefore, you may want to increase dosage. However, if a tube receives a puncture that causes a tear, no tire sealant will be completely effective. 5. Can I use tire sealant in passenger cars? Generally not, as most tire sealants will cause vibration problems in high speed applications. This is especially true if the tire has not been properly balanced. 6. What is the temperature range? A high quality tire sealant should not freeze, solidify, dry out, separate or become flammable from -25F (-32C) to 250F (121C). 7. Ask for a written warranty – Then make sure
