Default Stupid question I know.

What is the Z06 tire inflater kit? I'm changing over to Nitto non-run flats and someone offered this to me. Are the kits I've read about on here from Walmart the best thing to get or this one? The new CCW's I'm getting don't have run flat sizes, the rears are 20x13 with 4 1/2 lip, so this is new to me. Thanks, L8R THE FLASH

The Z06 tire inflater kit comes with "goo" that is not to be used with TPMS. Try this...

Not a stupid question! I carry a set of tools at all times in case I get a flat. Included in that kit is a set of needle nose vice grips. Sometimes it is impossible to pull an nail or screw, etc. even with vice grips.


So,,,,,I also carry AAA, cell phone, credit card and a SIG Pro in case I have to wait a while in a bad place.

I just got a tire repair kit and mini air compressor to keep in the trunk. I haven't had any issues requiring it's use yet though, thank God.

I really want to see this set up when you get them mounted!! Are they 20's all around ? What CCW did you get?
I went with 19's T10 with Nitto Invos ( can't wait for weather to warm up to see what they are like compared to old Michelin Pilot's.

I went with 19x10's in front, 20x13's in the back, CCW505a's. The shop was fitting the L5's today, hopefully will have pics by the weekend. They still have to do the Carravaggio spoiler too, so maybe next week. Thanks, L8R THE FLASH
