How do I fix a flat tubeless tire?
I use tubeless tires for offroading. But I’m worried about getting stuck in a remote area with a flat tire, so I want to buy a kit in case of emergency repairs. How do I fix a flat tubeless tire?

Great question! Unlike standard tires, tubeless tires can be fixed with liquid sealant.
Tubeless tires are often used to provide better traction and decrease the vehicle’s overall weight. You’re wise to use them for offroading.
When the lining between the wheel and the tire gets punctured, air escapes much more slowly in tubeless tires than in standard tires. Unless you’re way out in the backcountry, your tires should hold long enough to drive to a repair shop—although not all shops have the tools to repair tubeless tires.
If you’re looking for a product to throw in your emergency kit, a liquid sealant is a perfect product for tubeless tire damage.
- Small package
- Easy to administer
- Hardens within minutes
- Offers many more miles of driving
Slime,
Fix-a-Flat
, and Ts-Pro are three popular manufacturers with liquid sealants for tubeless car tires.Your car insurance may cover roadside assistance. Be aware that there are usually mileage limits, however. If you’re out in the boonies, you might be out of range. Plus, not all mobile mechanics have tubeless repair tools in their kit.
