the tyre weld is a "get you home or to a garage" subsidy for a spare tyre - once its inside the tyre it can cause rotting of the rubber

I've known people who've driven around for months after using it though with no issue

but really its just to be used to get you home safely - when you can change the tyre over

I carry it - dont see the point in 17s with a 13" steelie
