Flat Tire Kit - What's In Your Kit?
After purchasing an SC430 and realizing it came with standard (non-runflat) tires, I quickly came to the realization that I'm also missing the spare tire. After looking at spare tire prices and how much space they take up, I have tentatively decided to put together a "Flat Tire Kit" instead of getting a spare, just to get to closest tire place.
So far in my kit I have:
Two "Fix A Flat" containers (largest size I could find)
One air compressor to put air in tire (plugs into cigarette lighter)
What else do you have in your spare tire kit?

You can just get the Lexus one: $66.60 + shipping with the CL discount:

I got mine last week and added a pair of rubber gloves so my hands don't get dirty. It comes in a zipper canvas fabric bag with velcro on both sides so the thing does not shift in your trunk.

I bought this BMW Mobility Kit about 1 1/2 yrs ago, before anyone knew about the Lexus kit:

I bought both the spare tire kit: http://lexus.sewellparts.com/accesso...-2010-310.html
and the Tire Repair System: http://lexus.sewellparts.com/accesso...2010/4343.html
I figure sometime when I don't want to have the spare tire in the trunk I can rely on the backup!
The Tire Repair System works really great to just use it in the setting without injecting the sealant for just putting air in the tires. I used it yesterday and its quick and easy.

Hello,
Does anyone know if Sewell would accept a Group Buy? If there were a number of customers that wanted this item would they consider decreasing the price for a large Group Buy.
Just thinking out loud.
Thanks,
JP

For the people who have used the OTRS system, do you have to use both the compressor and the sealant together each time? Can I use just the compressor? I don't have the run flats installed anymore (thank goodness) I do have a spare, but don't like driving with it in the car all the time, have it more for if the wife calls, I'll go over with the spare and change it. Right now I don't have another compressor, (B&D air station puked) and I haven't replaced it yet. Thanks

Bigger ticket items, maybe. But tricky to get going.

I haven't used mine but can you set the PSI you want and it'll inflate to that point and automatically stop?. I don't think it can but it's a nice feature on my Black and Decker even though it doesn't have the sealant.

Helllo,
I should have been more detailed. I was meaning a group buy for the entire spare tire kit with wheel form the on line dealer. I can see that it could be difficult to orchestrate a gorup buy. But I would be definitley intersted.
Anyone out there want to help star one up I am game.
Thanks
