I have heard that cream in a tire will turn to cheese, but I guess it
would need to be put in after the puncture occurs otherwise it would
spoil. But I have never tried it myself. This might be one for the
MythBusters.

probable as the milk coagulated and turned to cheese it acted as a sealant
as the coagulant liquified you can imagine what would happen--if the rught
conditions where in effect it might tujrn to particles of hard cheese and as
a sealant it just might work
