Is VIPSEAL better than a tyre plug?
Yes! In most cases, VIPSEAL is better than a plug, because it is a preventive system that can extend the lifespan of tyres. A plug is a repair made after the tyre has deflated, and in most cases, the tyre was driven over a certain distance while deflated. Driving with a deflated radial tyre, even over short distances, can irreversibly and invisibly cause significant damage to the tyre cord. The “safety factor” is the main reason to use VIPSEAL sealant. It extends lifespan both for tyres and for the preventive maintenance system.
