Looking for a bit of advice please. Just got a set of brand new wheels and tyres for my defender. I heard from someone that I would be wise to seal the inside of them with sillicone. Has anyone done this? Does it work? Someone else said to me that I must use a product called tiger seal because normal sillicone will damage them. Any comments or experiences would be much appreciated.
Thanks
 
Thanks for the reply but I was talking about sealing them on the outside of the rim in the gap where the rust always seems to start. I can see that tiger sealing the tyre on would be a problem!

Ive never heard of this before. Sounds like paranoia.

My modulars have been on my defender for 3 years in my ownership they were on when i bought it.

There is no rust on mine. I imagine if you don't seal it properly or somehow the silicone lifts after you've done it you will trap water and cause it to rust though.
 
I have heard of it before its up to you really means you need to re paint them as the tiger seal is usually black
