A very good point - many tyre places won't touch a "gooed" tyre. Another wonderful idea to save the manufacturers money whilst screwing over the customer!

Tyre repair
A tyre full of the "tyre sealant" goo that some manufacturers give you instead of a proper spare wheel.

I've had the misfortune to deal with a mower tyre full of that sh*t. No wonder the tyre shops don't want to know.
Humanity landed on the moon over fifty years ago but it seems too much to ask for a reliable telephone/internet service in rural France.

Tyre repair
There are two types, at least
post-puncture - e.g your car kit - a can of a sort of rubber crazy foam plus a compressor
pre-puncture - used by alot of horticultural people - a green goop that remains as a liquid in inner tubes and if you drive over thorns etc it seals the damage - like OKO
