I got stranded on the side of the road the other day with a flat tire. As I was waiting for roadside assistance (long story), I started thinking about roadside emergency kits. Any suggestions? Fix a flat? Has anyone tried installing tire slime? This site looks interesting as well. It took about an hour for roadside assistance to reach me. The giant nail in my tire made it easy for the technician to help. A quick patch and I was on my way.

Simple...have a good jack and a spare tire. I sprung for the Safe Jack vs. the Hi-Lift and I carry my cordless impact wrench with me. In addition, I have the Viair 450P in my truck (soon to be in my Jeep). But, no matter...for a flat, just jack up the vehicle and change the tire. Maybe I'm missing something, but I'm not seeing the issue.

Which reminds me I really need to practice with my repair kit. Alongside a highway at night is not the time to be learning how to do it.
