Since the R1S has no full size spare I bought some gluetread (and plug kits for tread repair).
I have not use Gluetread but it looks like it may help me get back to the road if I trash a sidewall off-road.

Has anyone else used this product?

Never used it and I see only one mention of it on ih8mud but it's probably worth having in the kit bag.

Looks like an intersting product, I have not seen this before. I'm going to order one to have on hand for my farm equipment.

My only thought was that this would not hold up to highway speeds/safety, and the FAQ does indicate that, as well as a pressure limitation of 40 psi:
