For umpteenth time am sweating, squeezing "LinsealUk" , at a tenner a pop, into dumper tyre, and ageing ride-on mower - it's always the dreaded Blackthorn - one tiny thorn seems to make 2 hours work - have heard rumour that Watts Industrial Tyres can foam fill a new tyre wheel for yah at around £25 a tyre. Any landscapers out there can advize? Tyres on dumper virtually new, but that little blackthorn's like an Exocet....

I thought there was an aerosol thing that you could squirt into non-road traffic tyres to keep them going when punctured? manufactured by Holts, IIRC.

Thanks for ideas so far - unfortunately the aerosols are for tubeless tyres - all our tyres end up with an inner tube - currently using the Linseal stuff (green gunge), which does work - hoping for a permanent solution of some sort. ???
