When I went with my Hancock Non Runflats I picked up a small compressor and tire plug kit and very low scissor jack I keep in the back storage box. Have been using this stuff on motorcycles for years so quite comfortable if I have to address a flat on the road.

When I had runflats, I also kept a portable air compressor and a tire patch kit in the car. I also had emergency road service on my insurance just in case.
