...and my question is: Anybody recommend a portable air compressor? I drove to Kmart during the installation and saw their two available units. I've heard "Slime" makes a good kit, but figured I'd post here for someone's experience with anything in particular.

I got the BFGoodrich Comp 2's. They look nice and seem to have a lot more tread depth than the GY supercars when new. Bad weather and salt on the roads will keep me from driving the car (I brought the wheels in for instatallation, as usual) but I'm looking forward to a new driving feel with the new tires.

For you non-runflat naysayers -
When I discovered my buddy's new 2012 CTS-V has non-runflats and includes a factory tire repair kit and compressor, I figured "Why not?!?"
There's so much hoopla on the non-runflats for our cars. I'll soon judge it for myself.

this fits in cubby and rated the best in my opinion..

I bought a "Slime" unit. It works fine,but it would take several minutes to inflate a completely flat tire. It fits into the rear cubby in an 05 vert.

The Griot's claims 2 minutes to fill an average sedan's tire. I'm sold on Griot's for now. They've got some great products.

Thanks for the info, guys!

I use the ContiComfortKit (http://www.tirerack.com/accessories/...um=CCKV2&ID=38). I also keep a plug kit so if I can get away without using the sealant I will.



Had them all on board and running non-run flats for 4 years and never touched them.

The tire sealant would be a good idea for a completely flat tire where road conditions were impossible or difficult to try and repair.
