Reply to "Doughnut Spare tire & Wheel"

option number 4

In lieu of a spare tire I keep in the front trunk:

a flat jack & wrench to operate the jack
a lug nut wrench (breaker bar, extension, socket)
a pair of vise grips for grabbing & removing nails, etc
a kit for cleaning & plugging tire punctures
a compact 12vdc compressor
a tire pressure gauge

Everything except the jack, breaker bar & compressor is stuffed in a small canvas tool bag. The compressor has its own canvas bag.

I have kept kits like this in all of my cars since the 1980s, and have used them many times over the years to repair flats on my cars and on the cars of others. When choosing a compressor you want to select one designed for high volume, not high pressure. Most compact compressors don't put out enough air to blow out a match. A good compressor can inflate an automobile tire in about 3 minutes.
