[Ladykillerz]

blah blah blah...

 

my solution -> "Hello Ah Tiang ah?! Come my place now leh. my tire flat, need your sarpork! Kin Lai!"

18" and above??? sorry, dont undestand what you try to say...

 

the DIY 'fix-a-flat' can... if u read the instructions, they will tell u the recommended max rim/tyre size.

the largest i saw at autobac was only up to 17"

Me mountain turtle. Never knew they had the fulcrum point for some model.

I believe all cars have it, if you look carefully for it. Some more obvious than others.

I always have a 12v powered electric pump inside my car...if tyre go flat..I will pump it up and drive slowly to the near tyre shop..

Good idea as long as the tyre can retain the inflation pressure. I had encountered on separate occassions, those tire tear at carcass due to age (more than 6 years old), so can not inflate them. Have to either replace with spare or drive on flat by myself.

Same here.. Never have to change tyre after that. A few lucky friends got help from my portable pump when I m with them

Get the Slime Tire Sealant.

 

Can be used for various sizes.

 

Use that together with a 12V tyre compressor.

I checked a number of cars, MPV and SUV various mades,

Stream,

Mazda 3

Santa Fa,

Citreon C3

Camry

Cheap foot pump will get you nowhere. Use one with twin cylinders to save time and energy. Electric pump is the best but must be of high pressure type ( low pressure type is for inflating air beds , floats and beach balls) which means it will drain yr car battery and if luck is not on yr side you may end up with a flat battery

I had a flat tire out of the experience. But I found a place a telephone call for help. Make friends with other crane or spare tire to help me.

 

[Picanto]

Well done. Where to get one? Most useful for off-roading trips.

My last car had a carcass failure after a successful trade-in negotiation Ever wondered if we can drive a front wheel drive car, with both rear tire flat, with reasonable safety?
