DETAILED ANSWER AS REQUESTED

Q - Will Ultraseal seal sidewall punctures?

A - Yes & No!

However, It is important to realize that Ultraseal cannot hide or mask a dangerous wound.

Radial tyre sidewalls are much thinner in construction than the rest of the tyre. Even though there is some rubber recovery, if the wound has not weakened the structure of the tyre, it will seal.

If the wound is dangerous, Ultraseal is designed to bleed and the tyre will deflate in a slow controlled manner. Regardless of the tyre, the sidewall is the most vulnerable area. Ultraseal Intl. does not guarantee positive secure repair/clots on crown or sidewall punctures.
