Can't find any info on line, all the 'net chat is about repairing mountain bike tyres.

Tyre sealant is only supposed to be a 'get you home fix' or to the nearest tyre shop to buy a new one. Once you've used it you're supposed to replace the tyre as it can usually no longer be repaired and they don't recommend continuing to drive on it long-term, although I used it in a rear tyre on my Nissan about three years ago and haven't quite got round to replacing it yet so it's still in service.

I haven't tried it in a tubed wire wheel, but given how it works I'd say it would give you at least some chance of getting home and the chances are you'll never need it anyway. I always keep a breakdown service card under the driver's seat in my classics, though...

I'd say give it a go, what have you got to lose?
