Pep Boys

I carry one of THESE and don't worry about it

I carry my insurance card which includes road side assistance.
Big truck with flatbed pulls up, loads it, and takes it to a shop to get fixed. Easy

I have used a plug kit and the air pump once in my smart. it also did not come with a spare. All is good with that.

Tire repair kit is ok. As long as there is enough tire left to fix. And the bead has not popped off the rim. Well, I can take care of the bead off the rim but it scares the pants off of people.

Ahh...The old starting fluid and match trick. Definitely a 'sketchy' procedure, but necessary if you're out on a trail somewhere.

I use a ratcheting tie down to do it; set the strap around the center of the tire and tighten it up.
Had to do it one on a trailer tire.

Done that with a rope and hand pump. Definitely a good field (bush) technique.

Maybe I missed it, but has anyone read the news about Pep Boys being up for sale ? I have read items on Yahoo and MSN about this. I don't know if this would effect us or not.

just ran across this today!

• Icahn Takes 12% Stake in Pep Boys, Sees Fit for Rival
• not sure how it will effect the distribution or service of the elio.

Hopefully before too long we won't have to worry about flat tires.

No more flats! No more TPS system! The ability to customize the performance of each tire for horizontal and vertical stiffness depending on the kind of ride you are looking for. I CAN'T WAIT!

Get used to waiting. Your link is 10 years old, and the Tweel is still only available for skid steers and I think John Deere zero turn lawn mowers.
