And if not - what‘s the best temporary (motorcycle tire) flat fixer kit you can carry?
No, they dont, because when you lose a certain amount of air in a bike tire, the bike becomes unstable, and there is no way to balance a bike tire with anything added to the tire or rim, which also causes instability. They make tire plug kits that have Co2 emergency inflators for bikes, which are probably the best choice. Fix-a flat doesnt work well on bike tires, and tire slime is for ATV's and cant be used in an emergency because you need compressed air after you add it to a tire, and Tire slime is impractical to carry because the bottles are so big.
Hmmmmm…fix them? No, no, no. Drive really, really fast in the rain? Sounds good!
Go really fast toward a brick wall. The gene pool will thank you.
A run-flat design won't work on a motorcycle tire as it does on a 4-wheel vehicle. A car-based run-flat tire uses reinforced sidewalls that can carry the weight of the vehicle. But, because a bike tire is rounded, not flat on top like that of a car tire, the same principle cannot be built into a motorcycle tire. As mentioned above, there are sealants that can be applied to the inside of a tire before the tire is mounted on to the rims. They do a decent job in the event of a puncture but that sealant comes with its own drawbacks (separation at high speed due to centrifugal force, a tire is difficult to repair permanently because removing the sealant is very difficult, etc.)
A tire plug kit and a CO2 inflator bottle. Dont put fix a flat in one. its not practical. Messy, throws the wheel off balance. Plugs are reliable emergency repair devices that work well. If you were on a road trip and still had 12 hours to get to your destination and hit a nail. the plug would be fine to finish your trip with no worriees. Matter of fact, you could even enjoy the vacation and ride it all they way back afterwards with the plug. I would ride a rear flat 60 miles down the highway using the centrifical force of the tire rotation keepin me up and stable before I would put fix a flat in it. I have had to do it before a few times. BE advised that you cant ride a fron tire flat saftely like that though. That is somthing different and I having years of experience even had a few sweat beads rolling the last time I had to bring the bike to a slow down and stop at highway speed after realizing I had a flat in the front.
