Road trip
So i'm thinkin of takin the z on a trip in June to Rhode Island from Chicago and am wondering what others do to avoid or plan for tire problems since we don't have a spare. What have others experienced???

Aside from the tire repair kit provided from the factory, I also purchased a tubeless tire repair kit from Walmart that contains everything you'd need to plug a tire. I also included a couple of extra tools, like a pair of pliers, to make it easier to use if needed. I was able to fit the extra stuff in the case the GM kit comes in. I also have as a last resort, a can of fix-a-flat. Lastly, a AAA card and a cell phone wouldn't hurt either. The more prepared you are, the less likely you'll need it. So far, okay!

someone snatched the gm kit before i bought the car so i went to wal mart and paid 20 bucks for a small compressor that plugs into the power point and 7 bucks for a plug kit. i also take a can of fix a flat. made many long distance trips yet and so far so good. knock on wood.
