….Tyre Yogurt Sealant in for Test.
The folks at Tyre Yogurt, based in Morzine, France, claim to be doing sealant differently, and we will test that assertion. Most sealants clog punctures by creating a chemical bond between the tire, the liquid, and the solids (often latex) that are suspended therein. Tyre Yogurt instead creates a physical plug with its massive amount of fibers, said to seal up to a 6mm gash. Given its unique makeup, the company also purports that their sealant will last the life of a tire without drying out, and can be transferred between tires for folks who swap tread often.
One element of Tyre Yogurt that we’ve already tested is its washability. With no latex or ammonia, and none of the associated smells, the non-corrosive sealant washes right out of clothing. If you think back to the last time your expensive riding kit was slathered in sealant, this feature alone is worth giving Tyre Yogurt a try.
