Default What do you do in the event of a flat?

Luckily I never came across this situation on my last car. Every time I had a puncture, the nail or whatever was still in the tire and I was able to drive it to be fixed. I worry a lot about my S because it is my first car I have spent a lot of money on. I have just recently lowered it, and I am in the process of buying some expensive rims. I don't have a donut because my amps are taking up that space in my trunk.

Long story short, what do yall do in the event of a flat?

Mine are a call to AAA for a rollback tow , my preferred method. Or carrying a can or two of fix-a-flat, not my favorite option The other option is to carry a tire plug kit and a small compressor to refill the tire once fixed.

Will a tire that you plug still need to be taken for repair?

Yes indeed! A patch would be the preferred fix unless the damage is so severe or to the sidewall. In which case I would replace the tire.

I never knew a CR didn't come with a spare. You want to know how I found out? A week after owning the car I was driving home from muay thai and I discovered a razor blade lodged in my tire. I didn't noticed it at first, the potenzas have a stiff sidewall. So yea, thats when I realized it had no spare. The tire kit couldn't fix it.

Like others said, a tow is the best or fix a flat
