Now to figure out the tool kit

I cannot read the name on the bag - and what is in it

If you wait till on sale or have a coupon, I think I only paid $39 maybe 49 for it.

Do all of the models not come with the compressor and can of Fix a Flat in the trunk? I also got road side assistance when I bought a oil change package from my dealer, which has free towing within 150 miles. And I have a second set of wheels/tires for autox in the garage if I'm close to home and with a friend. So there are a few options. Almost had to use one of them when I ran over some debris in pouring rain and put a hole in the sidewall, but made it home with 17 psi left and just drove on the autox wheels for a week.

Models with run-flats do not come with anything for the tires. Just a tow hook and fuel funnel.

Regrettably, I have no plan

Did the base and RS models come with a spare and jack, or just a Fix-a-Flat can?

If there's a spare/jack setup available, can you use a mini-spare with the LSD without damaging it?

I've never used a FaF can, do they actually work?

2 cans of Fix a Flat....have used before they work in some intances. Won't fix a gash.

When I had my run flats I got flats 3 times with the same tire. Each time I was able to keep driving. It got me to a station and each time they plugged it. Recommended to stay below 45mph.

If you've ever used a tire plug kit, you'll understand when I say a full size wire cutters is a necessity.

I have a Viar (sp?) compressor, tire plug kit and wire cutters tucked nicely below the trunk floor.
The compressor is quite good, and not overly expensive. I actually use it to over-inflate my tires for storage.

Call AAA for a tow, tap for a Lyft to come and pick me up.

Why would this be any different from my other cars?

I've plugged numerous tires over the years. Why are full size wire cutters a necessity?

Little update. Had to plug flat the other day. :-) everything works like a champ, with one edition... add a ratchet strap to your toolkit. Trust me. Wrap the ratchet strap around the wheel, and just crank the plug Tools in and out of the tire. Made the whole process infinitely easier, didn't even have to touch a knee down.

I've always used a stopngo plug kit for my motorcycles and of course will work on car tires.
Doesn't take up much room and easy to use.....

I didn't like the ride of the stock GY RF, I wore em all they way down tho, down to slick on back one side, almost slick the other. I use Michelin AS3 now, and they are pretty good grip. I had Michelin Pilot SS one set too, those were great fun in the summer, I DD mine summer tires even thru dead of winter, just went real slow in winter.

When I copy and paste CHCA1626 into Amazon FRAM air filters come up. What were you referencing?

my insurance offers roadside assistance for under $10 a year and my company purchases AAA for me on top of that.
