Why do you need a jack and lug wrench? You dont have a spare.
I have the oem air pump inflator kit and i have a slime brand one. I keep a tire plug kit. There is no way at all your going to be able to dismount, and break the tire down to patch a tire on the side of the road. |

After owning two C5 Corvettes and fixed 3 flats, way easier and safer to remove the wheel so I can Repair the puncture. Hence the jack & lug wrench Never said anything about roadside tire demounting. Just a simple wheel removal to facilitate a better puncture repair while still ON the rim PS; Slime ruins Aluminum wheels and really makes a mess to clean up. Plus the fact you'll have to replace your TPMS sensor caused by the slime and it throws the balance off so personally I would only recommend it on rental cars After using a tire repair kit I can safely drive indefinitely after roadside repair without ruining the wheel and TPMS sliming creates so it's cheaper, safer and way less $$/ time in the long run. |

Just like our Vettes the assembly from Modernspare.com is the way to go. I recommended it to a buddy of mine at work with a '16 SS 'vert and he needed it shortly after he purchased it. Tire repair kits are fine for small leaks from nails etc but if you have a major blowout at freeway speeds the full size spare is nice to have.

Thanks for the input. I would go that route unfortunately I have a convertible and that combo won't fit. I have an Audi that has an inflatable spare that fits in a tighter area that is an option worth looking into.
Having had C- 3,4 & two C5 Corvettes and did the roadside repair I feel safe with a quality puncture repair kit and a small compressor. This Camaro is mainly a low mi/ top down weekend ride so the anxiety level of a flat is low enough to get by with a flat repair kit but an inflatable spare would be nice for long distance trips |
