The other thing a lot of us have done is get a small jack from C5Frederik also carry a compressor and patch kit.

Re: TIRE SENSORS
If you take the sensors out of the system you'll always get the "Check Tire Pressure Monitor System" message on the DIC. You just have to push reset to clear it.
I'd agree with leaving them in. If you are going to have a catastrophic blowout you aren't going to fix it with fix-a-flat. Most flats are slow nail type punctures. With the sensors you'll have an indication of a leak and be able to get attention before it's not drivable. Without the warning you may ruin the tire due to running high speeds on a low tire.
