Ahh. Thanks for the tip. I have a can in both my car and my wife's. I guess I'll only use if we get stuck far away from civilization.

I also have a tire plug kit in the trunk. No inflator though. If the 1LE doesn't come with one, I guess I'll invest in one.

I found this on Amazon:
https://www.amazon.com/Universal-Tub...plug+kit&psc=1

Looks to be quite complete.

I was also thinking of getting a spare wheel and tire to assemble an emergency kit to keep at home. Then I can have someone grab the kit and bring it to me. I don't usually have the car far from home.

I had RF tires on my current car, and switched out to regular tires once the old ones wore out. The car's ride quality improved for sure with the regular tires. I was planning to do something similar with the 1LE.
Pretty sure the V-6 1LE comes with run flats like the SS if I remember correctly.

I would like to carry a spare but the weight and inconvinience of storing it along with a jack are not ideal to me. Plus figuring out what to do with the oe tire after taking it off just sour the deal even further. I carry a small inflator in addition to the factory one and a set of tire plug/tool.

I use Nealey tire plugs and can't recommend them enough. I've used them for years and seen plugs implemented early on in the service life of a tire last until replacement. I have Also run tires with multiple fixes for thousands of miles. Though that is on passenger cars and trucks and professional fix or replacement would be safer on these cars. Totally get you home or to service station most of the time though.
