56 divided by 4.55 = 12.3 gallons in old money.

And, as I get c.40mpg, that's nearly 500 miles from a tank.

And tyre foam renders the tyre unrepairable so I believe. Tyre fitters nightmare.

not true
I sell one that is biodegradable and will wash out with warm water

Agree, I had a flat tyre once I tried to repair with a foam can.....I didn't read the instructions on the can properly and didn't jack the car up....so the can didn't work. Took the wheel to tyre fitters.....and after them moaning that id use a can of gunk on it.....they just wiped it clean with rag and repaired it  :y

Actually Opti, it looks to me that tyre might be shagged anyway....it maybe a trick of the camera....but to me the 2nd line of tread towards the outside is 'feathering'. Run you fingers over the tread rotational wise and see if it seems smooth....if not is knackered and will cause loads of tyre noise. I used to think 'feathering' only occurred on cheap tyres.....but Ive just changed the two back tyres on the Mondeo for exactly the same thing and they were Michelin's.....
