What does everyone do for a spare tire?

Jeryl · 12-08-2018, 09:09 PM

We purchased a used 2018 1 LT RS a few months ago.

Do you carry a repair kit/12 volt air compressor, some type of road side assistance, or...?

Curious what options are out there?

Never used it, but we carry this in the trunk

Thank you!

I bought a spare tire kit from ModernSpare.com. Come with a nice spare, jack and lug wrench.

Well, there may be some drugs for spare-tire-anxiety.

I have the slime kit too but mostly I just live on hopes and dreams LOL! Not so funny if I had gotten stuck this Summer in the Nevada desert going to Vegas!

I guess I'll have to do something when using the A/S tires. We plan on travelling with the SS and don't want to get a flat in the middle of nowhere.

My 1LE doesn't even have run-flats, so in addition to the stock slime that came with the car I have a compact Mercedes car jack, all tools req'd to remove the wheel, a tire patch kit, a can of fix-a-flat, and a compact 12v compressor all stuffed into a backpack that permanently resides in my trunk.

I guess you could say I'm paranoid, but I've been stuck in BFE before and I'll do what I can to prevent it from happening again.

I even have new engine belts in the bag

Often thought of a plug kit. For air, I've pondered the small air tanks used for PCP airguns. They're about the size of a football, and can have 3,000 psi pressure. Compact, no moving parts.

I have a air pump, need to get fix a flat can.

I have NON RUN FLAT TIRES

24 hour road side. Prayers. OEM "kit".

I recently had a flat in my rear tire. That is what really drove me to upgrade my wheels. Anyway I drove over 20 miles with my tire on flat. I was nervous and drove pretty slow but the run flats served well. Actually that is how I realized I had them.

I have Run Flats but when I get new tires I will get a 2 cans of Fix a Flat.
