Ultra Seal DIY
Tony, sure the DIY is fine-But, when one contacts the area reps, they check car model, tyre size and make, before they visit .Then they work out ratio of mixture content and quantity for that tyre.Too much could affect balance of wheels.So for me, not worth any doubt of everything correct from Go.
