Learn how to use the BMW Mobility Set accessory to rapidly repair a little tyre damage so that you may resume your journey in the video below. The mobility set can only be used to repair tyre damage that is up to 4 mm deep temporarily. Unpack the BMW Mobility System after removing it from the storage space. Before using, please review the operating instructions. Also, be sure to replace the sealant composite container after each use or when the specified best-before date has passed. You can put on the safety gloves that are provided to utilize the mobility set. Remove the label from the AIR/REPAIR switch on the mobility set compressor and the tyre valve cap from the damaged tire. The compressor hose’s cap should be removed, and the hose’s end should be firmly screwed onto the tire valve. Turn on your BMW by inserting the mobility set’s electric connector into a 12 V outlet. Press the button to begin inflating the tire after setting the compressor to REPAIR. The compressor’s gauge displays the current tire inflation pressure. At least 2 bar and no more than 2.5 bar of pressure should be placed in the tire. Stop the compressor, unplug the power cord from the car, remove the hose from the tire valve, replace the cap. To give the sealant compound time to distribute throughout the tire, move the car about 10 meters ahead or backward. As soon as feasible, drive for around 3 kilometers while maintaining a speed of at least 20 kilometers per hour and no more than 60. To read the tyre inflation pressure from the gauge after the drive, check the pressure with the provided nanometer. If you need to increase the tire pressure, turn the compressor to AIR and click the button to begin doing so. By pushing the release button, air can be released from the tire if the pressure gets too high during inflation. Put the sticker on the windscreen to remind the driver of the 80 km/h speed limit restriction. As soon as you can, please replace the damaged tire. The mobility set can also be used to inflate other objects, including as bicycle tires or balls, using the valve adapters that are included.

Describe Tirefit.
In the event that your tyres sustain less severe damage, your quick interim solution. The sealant pushed in using the air compressor can be used to repair damage caused by driving over nails or glass shards. You can therefore continue to travel up to 80 km/h to the closest repair shop.
How long does the sealant on BMW tires last?
We frequently get questions like this. Tyre sealant is likely to dry out after a while because the heat and pressure inside the tyre cause it to shift from a liquid condition to a solid form.
Every two years of service, you should change your tyre sealant to ensure the best possible performance of the sealant in the case of a tyre puncture. Keep in mind that owing to normal wear and tear, most tires and tubes also need to be replaced at this time.
It should be noted that tyre sealant will remain liquid for around two years before beginning to harden off, unless it has expired. It typically consists of rubber fibers and particles together with other sealing agents.
Can I drive while wearing tire sealant?
You must start driving right away after applying Tyreweld so that the foam may circulate around the tire and fix the puncture.
Tyreweld should be taken out of the valve first; since it is a single-use item, the can should now be thrown away. Once the substance has had time to travel around the tire and seal the puncture, move forward cautiously.
After a little interval, it is okay to increase your speed up to a maximum of 50 mph (80 kph). After using Tyreweld, you can drive for up to 100 miles, which should be ample time to get to your destination or a nearby garage.
Tyreweld is not a long-lasting tire repair, thus in order to maximize safety, you should have the tire properly fixed. Our non-toxic, washable formula allows the solution to be removed from the tyre after use without causing any permanent harm, which is an advantage that not all tyre puncture repair kits provide.
After using Fix-a-Flat, can I re-inflate my tire?
Yes. Fix-a-Flat will fill the tire with enough air pressure to get you back on the road while sealing punctures up to 1/4 inch in diameter. Drive the car for at least 2 to 4 miles right away, and then as soon as you can, go to a gas station or use a tire inflator to fill your tire with the appropriate amount of air pressure.
If I use sealant, do I need to buy new tires?
A 125-mile driving range is promised for the AirMan Repair Sealant. However, a variety of factors, such as the following, will affect how long the repair will actually last:
- the nature of the first puncture and its size The kit can patch holes up to 6mm in diameter, however smaller holes are typically simpler to patch and will last longer.
- If the hole occurs in the middle of the tread as opposed to close to the sidewall, it is possible to obtain a much cleaner seal.
- Your driving habits, particularly how quickly you drive on a flat tire and the types of roads you frequently travel.
- how old the sealant is
- A sealant canister that has passed its expiration date will probably be less efficient at repairing punctures over the long term.
After the sealant has been applied, it is recommended that you have the tire fixed or replaced as soon as possible, and that you only use the car to get to the closest tire fitting facility.
How long will a tire repair kit last?
The answer is to fix your tire if it suddenly becomes flat. However, the best approach and how to proceed require separate discussion.
Using specialist materials to patch the air leaks in the tires is one of the quickest ways to accomplish this. How long is it possible to travel on a clogged tire?
The tire plugs may travel eight kilometers without any problems. Naturally, the better, the shorter you sit on it.
Are tire patch kits durable?
The U.S. Tire Manufacturers Association and the Tire Industry Association both claim that the only fixes that are truly permanent are 1 or 2-piece repair units carried out by skilled technicians.
How far is tyre sealant safe to use?
Tyre foam or sealant will typically last 50 to 100 miles before losing its effectiveness. You must have your tire properly mended or replaced as soon as possible, ideally the same day.
What amount of tire sealant should I apply?
Inside the tire, liquid sealant is unhindered. When a puncture happens, a small amount of sealant is pulled into the hole and permanently seals the puncture.
Sealant must get to every essential area of the tire in order to protect it effectively. While using too little sealant can make you lighter, it could also expose you to inadequate protection. The amount of sealant in your tire depends on its size and how it will be used or stored. Use 40 to 60 ml to seal one road tire, 60 to 120 ml to seal one fat bike tire, and 125 ml to seal one PLUS tire. The difference between the tire protected area when using 60 ml and 120 ml of sealant per tire is depicted in the drawing below.
Add a third (1/3) of the initial amount used for each tire on a regular basis to keep the proper amount of sealant in your tires. Add sealant every 3-6 months in cold climates and every 2-4 months in hot climates.
To be reminded to add sealant, you can set a recurring alarm in your calendar.
How quickly does tire sealant function?
Have you yet taken it? For me, this seems to make a significant difference. Take a tire that is holding some air but is losing it over night, then ride it around the block at a moderately low pressure for 20 minutes. This spreads the sealant everywhere and stretches the rubber casing, allowing everything to sort of “soak in.” Or at least that’s how I think things are going. In your circumstance, it works for me 95% of the time.
What is a tire sealant’s drawback?
The fact that tyre sealants can only patch minor holes in the tube or tread is a significant disadvantage. The sealants are rendered useless by significant punctures. Additionally, the liquid won’t seal any holes or other damage on the sidewalls.
Tyre sealant: Does it damage the tire?
Your tires could get damaged by tire sealant instead of getting fixed. Tire sealant may be straightforward to use, but if used wrong, it could further damage your tire. Sealant is made to spread out and fill puncture holes with the help of the tire’s heat. It can pool near the bottom of the tire if it doesn’t warm up quickly enough, which could result in possible wheel misalignment. Additionally, tire sealant may harm the sensors inside your tire, maintaining the pressure without warning the driver if the tire pressure were to actually drop low.
It’s not a long-term solution to a flat tire. Wheel corrosion from leaking tire sealant can be expensive to repair. Additionally, there is no permanent fix for tire sealant. In fact, many service shops won’t repair a tire treated with a chemical sealant, so you might need to buy a new tire to replace your flat.
Sealants could contain dangerous compounds, and a repairman might need to spend a lot of time removing sealant. The pressure inside the tire can rise when a canned sealant is used, increasing the likelihood of a blowout or injury to the tire repairer. Additionally, sealants could make your tire’s warranty useless, costing you more money to replace the tire.
Tyre sealant: is it durable?
Both solutions should not be viewed as long-term fixes. It is merely a stopgap measure to get you to a secure location where you can get the tire permanently fixed or replaced.
Any permanent tire repair necessitates complete removal of the tire, inspection for structural damage, and only reinstallation if the tire is in a safe state.
Therefore, sealing a puncture by injecting sealant into the valve or by allowing a pre-puncture tyre to weld cannot ever be regarded as a sufficient long-term fix. Additionally, you should always be sure to get the tyre taken off and examined by a specialist.
The duration of the pre-puncture tyre weld inside the tire is another issue. If your wheels are more than a few years old, there’s a chance the sealant is no longer effective and won’t be able to completely seal a puncture, should one happen.
