non run flats

For those of you using non run flats what do you carry with you for repairs. I live in the boonies and help can be a long way away.

2 bottles of fix a flat, a tire repair kit, a small low profile floor jack and a compressor and a lug wrench. I tore up a tire once so next time I'm prepared.

Is it ok to use fix a flat with pressure monitors? I have heard that it is not good for them, but if you're stuck I guess it really doesn't matter.

I have a plug kit and a 12vdc compressor. That should get me to the nearest tire shop.

you might also consider a small 1 foot square piece of wood to drive the flat tire up on to make sure that your jack has room to get under. throw a leatherman in there as well. you are going to need pliers to pull the nail out and something to cut the plug once it is sealed. or just have towing insurance and a cell phone.

There is a fix a flat that is supposed to be tire pressure monitor friendly. Also don't forget some wheel chocks.

I carry a Slime Power Spair Flat Tire Repair Kit (70004), AAA, and a cell phone. Shopping for low profile jack but I am not sure what for. If you totally trash a tire and you have no spare you better have a sandwich and some water too.
