Do the math...some math is good.

How much does an actual flat tire cost you? Let's do some math.

Assume a minimum wage earner, Php 400/day or Php 50/ hour (you can, of course, charge a higher hourly rate if you want ). Assume 1 flat tire repair in Manila will cost you Php 70. Additionally, let's assume the time spent getting to a vulcanizing shop and having the tire repair done is 1 hour, that is Php 50. So, fixing a puncture will cost you Php 120.

But, the cost (Php 120) is just the basic repair of 1 puncture on 1 tubeless tire.

How many times do you get a flat tire in a month? Every 3 months? For the entire life of the tire (approximately 6 months if used daily)?

What if you get more than one puncture?... On a tube type tire? Normally, you would want to change the tube. That will mean higher cost.

How much do you actually spend for the life of the tire vs Cycle Seal's cost at Php 350 (2 sachets for 2 tires)?

Another way of looking at it...

An MC tire with Cycle Seal is still usable after 50 punctures. Assuming the cheapest rate of tire repair is Php 50 per puncture, Php 50 x 50 holes means that your tire is now worth ( or you have saved ) more than Php 2,500.

Now, do the math. These days, flat prevention can still come cheap!

I love maths.Maths is very tricky subject.See this problem find two consecutive positive integers. Find two consecutive positive integers, sum of whose squares is 365. http://youtu.be/MYtH62cQLN4 See the problem is tricky to solve.
