What's your "Flat Tire Plan"?
This year I acquired a 2010 SS with a primary purpose to track the car. But I do drive it occasionally around town on a errand, etc... This weekend I noticed the sealant in the inflator is long expired. And this got me thinking about what I'll do if I get a flat.
What is your plan? Do you plan to use the inflator and sealant? Have you purchased a new sealant cartridge? Do you carry a plug kit? Have you acquired a spare? If so, does it fit with the battery? I'm guessing not. Are you just calling roadside service for a flatbed? I'm regularly hours from home for a track day and I'm more nervous each time I head out away from home. I've got "run flats" but those will only get me so far. After that, I'll try the sealant/inflator (I'm shopping for new sealant) and hope I make it home. After that, flatbed. |

This is always an option if you're really worried or just have AAA.

Multiple sets of wheels and tires in my basement. I can either leave the car on the road where the flat happens if it is safe too, and then come back later with tools and a tire, or AAA to flatbed tow me home and then swap in my driveway.

I'll be upset, I'll swear for a while and then I'll go to the trunk for a spare and change the wheel.

George, does that spare fit over your battery? Or did you relocate the battery? Thanks!

I keep a 12V compressor, and a plug kit in ALL my cars.
Nothing fixes a sidewall puncture, so you would need a spare. I also have AAA. |

And of course I have a compressor and kit in the car with repair foam and rubber wicks.

Got USAA with roadside.
Should get a plug kit and mini compressor since the roadside response times can be excessive tho.

Factory spare and jack. Bought the spacer ring to enable it to work on the large brakes of a ZL1. Also carry a compressor and repair kit.
