This is not a bad deal for just the tire+wheel but that jack is not getting under my car. I need to use two jacks to lift my car on the side, rear first then front ... rear clears the pad with massive 3mm gap still available but I am lowered on KWs a lot

On the rear this will cause the car to think it is slipping on one side due to the difference in heights with the tires as well about 4% smaller than 19 OEM still better than no tire and peace of mind

I am not really a fan of filling a wheel with the goop they have in the trunk - you can purchase a tire patch kit at any auto store that will get you to a tire shop .... or a few hundred more miles if you happen to forget you patched the tire

How much is a service like this and are they faster than roadside assistance?
im in Asia, and they charged USD50 to do a basic tire plug. But it was a public holiday and they arrived within 30 mins, so I wasn’t complaining.

They have a full setup in the truck, and also do on site tire changes.

I feel you dawg. I've never seen 38psi hit 0 quicker in my life.

Nasty, but you're safe and the ride wasn't damaged.

I can relate. But when they see it again....

It is a little embarrassing. You never forget your first time, though ;)

Join the club. After this I thought about getting the modern spare for road trips but it leaves no room for luggage. Other option is run flats.

I read good things about this patch kit:



https://www.nealeytirerepairkit.com/

Looks like they are going to be sold.
I've used Nealey plugs in the past and still have a few...best plugs in the business, IMHO. The only system that actually patches the inside of the tire. I drill the hole out, just like in the video. The kit is in the trunk, next to the can of goo.
