I consider ease of use and safety to be really important, since with modern tire reliability, most drivers have little or no experience with changing wheel/ tire assemblies, on a narrow road shoulder, at night, and trying to unthread wheel lugnuts that were torqued to 150 ft lb when installed.

This kit seems easy to use. It does not even require removing the valve stem. This seems to me to be the SAFE way to address a flat tire.

Yes, it won't solve the problem if your tire has severe, non-repairable damage, but that happens WAY less frequently than a normal "flat tire", and I have had only 2 flat tires in my entire 56-year driving career.

In my view, this kit moves a "trip-stopping" or "very unsafe" tire problem from the "rare" category to the "ultra rare" category, and I can live with that.

I agree completely, I ordered this kit as well... I figured had I bought a 1LE this is the exact solution I would have had regardless, so for $60 it is the best answer in my book...
