Tyre slime or tyre foam won’t prevent a motorcycle tyre from getting a puncture but it can limit the issues a puncture can cause.
With tyre slime you can temporarily fix the puncture, enabling you to get to your local motorcycle tyre shop to replace the tyre without requiring roadside recovery.
If you pre-fill your tyre will tyre slime, it can prevent a tyre deflating once it is punctured but it can also mask a puncture which could put you at risk if you carry on riding the way you would on an un-damaged tyre.
If you’re abroad, tyre slime or a motorcycle puncture repair kit could save you hundreds of pounds in recovery charges and prevent a puncture from ruining your trip. So they are worth considering.
Tyre slime is a good short-term fix for a puncture but it won’t prevent an object penetrating the tyre’s surface.
