Because other cars don’t have a jack or tyre kit or frunk. You only need one puck btwjack, pucks, tyre kit, something to boost a dead 12V battery, ejector seat replacement... now I know why they designed a frunk into this thing
I had this problem as recently as last Saturday. Completely flat, no5 a slow punctured2hich you can often inflate and drive for a while before topping up the pressure.
I carry a cheap (£8j tyre plugging kit. I’ve tried various ones over the years, and personally found the most successful is when you have the reaming tool, fresh strips and the glue which also helps fabricate the insertion of the strip. Plugged the tyre in 10 mins. But it could also be luck on the type of damage. I’ll junk this kit now and buy another, the glue tends to go off once opened.
This one looks very similar to the one I used, the handles fail with enough use reading the reviews (seems a common problem( with most of them) but it you see it as a consumable, and at £6.40 it probably is, then I think its ok. I'll be buying one of these in the next week or so to replace the bits.. If you;ve got a good set of "handles" already, its probably a cheap way to buy the sticks and glue.I have a kit that is years old and I now worry that the rubber pieces and glue might not be up to the job any more ... I've never had to use it because my punctures have either resulted in instant tyre death or are slow punctures that can be kept topped up until repaired. Which brand kit have you found is good? (because I reckon I should change mine)

Your link again comes up with the glue, can any one of you get the Amazon link please? Much appreciated.Your Amazon link has popped up (for me at least) with an "also buy this" for the glue alone
Although, as you say "consumable", so at £4.19 might be worth splashing out on a new complete kit at £6-quid
Does 3 punctures which, as you say, will not happen if it has gorn-off in the meantime.

Me to. Puncture foam (Holts) does no preclude the tyre from a permanent repair though some of the big name tyre fitters may try to sell you a new tyre. ( I will not be quick to fit any firm up with this accusation just in case they have changed their policy).That used to be the case, but some brands now wash out of the tyre without causing any damage. I carry 2 cans of Holts Tyreweld in my frunk, just in case...
The link won't open for me but I think I know what you mean. I have had these repairs carried out twice, once in France where they are routine, and once in UK at a small two man shop.This is the kit i used successfully on 3 rear punctures i picked up in both the rear tyres, it is possible to do it with the wheel on but much easier with it removed as it takes a lot of effort to push the rope through.

One of the puntures was in a non repairable location so decided to have both rear tyres replaced rather than run around with plugs in them, went with GoodYear Asymmetric 3 because they were a good price, A rated for efficiency and not Hankook Ventus EV tyres as i think they are prone to punctures. Just over 4k on the GoodYears which was about the same as the Hankooks and no punctures yet, nowhere near as many stone cuts as the Hankooks had in them, (kept one of the removed tyres for comparison) i know it could be luck but they don't pick up as many stones in the tread and are not so squidgy soft as the Hankooks are.
Not sure what the next set of tyres i fit will be but won't' be ones with sound reducing foam in them or Hankooks that's for sure.

t I rarely carry it - I know
Good idea. Only need to carry it on the days when you are going to need it
Thank you but again, Safari can't establish a link to the server from my iphone. I will try on the puter later.Did for me ... here's the link I wound up at in case that works any better
