Compared to tire plugs, a patch is viewed as a more permanent solution that offers better durability and safety over time.Size of the puncture – Small holes (less than ¼ inch in diameter) can usually be patched successfully. Larger damage often requires replacement. Number of repairs – Too many patches in the same tire reduce safety and performance.Depending on the cause, it may require a patch, plug, or even a replacement.

How many months does tire sealant last?
The sealant should last an average of 2-6 months depending on factors such as: temperatures and humidity in your area, how often you ride, where you store your bike (cooler is better), tire casing thickness, number of punctures the sealant has already sealed that you never knew you had, etc. As a general rule, we’d recommend topping up your tubeless sealant every three to six months. We also recommend fully removing the tyre for inspection once every 12 to 18 months. Please note due to the vast array of tubeless sealants available, these timelines might differ for your specific setup.
