Default A quick question about when you guys get flat tires....

I got an 'ordinary' C5 with runflats. I know your cars came with non-runflats. Does the GM supplied 'fix-a-flat' work? Or do you guys not even mess with that stuff and call the tow?

I keep a tire plug kit in my glove box, and scrapped the fix-a-flat. It only makes a mess, IMOP! Tire plugs and the factory air compressor are a winning combination as far as I'm concerned!

I activated the TPM and bought pressure wensors for mine, so hopefully I'll catch it before it goes flat and get it repaired...other than that, I too bought a plug kit.

Even though I have never used one the tire plug kit sounds like a good idea. What does your kit include?
