For me, I have only had one flat tire in my entire life (on my old Z28). We have roadside assistance, so if I get a flat, I will be calling them. =) If I was planning on driving some way out road trip where nothing was around for a hundred miles, than maybe I would want at least an inflation/repair system.
I never use to get flats - now I get them all the time. So I don’t know of the state is so much rose at maintaining streets, I’m a worse driver, tires are cheaper or a combination. My last round of arguments with dealers have been over the constant slow leak on the front tires on my 4-runner. So bad I purchased one of those inflators to keep with me in the vehicle. Have to re inflate both fronts at least monthly.
So sick of shoddy workmanship,
