Hi,

I already have a good tool kit, drill, needle files etc, so I’m mainly looking for a kit that doesn’t needlessly double up on tools that I already have but I’m here for your advice so I’ll look at anything you recommend.

Ideally the kit would have enough bits and pieces that I could store it and keep it for future punctures also, but I could just order a multiple of single use kits if that is what you’d recommend.

Please let me know! Thanks.

    Rope plugs to get you to a shop.

    Unless you have the stuff to pull a tire off the wheel and apply a proper patch-plug, every other option isn’t worth it.

    Slime, fix-a-flat, or similar can destroy tire pressor sensors so you should only use them for a tiny hole and you have ABS pressor sensors.

    The rubber plug style ones without a patch don’t hold up as well compared to rope plugs. I have had those fail but rope plugs kept sealed well enough to wear out the tire.

    I keep a set of rope plugs and a tire inflator in the trunk, if a spare or those doesn’t sort out the problem then I’m getting a tow.
