Non-runflats: What if flat tire?
My Michelin runflats on my '03 are just about down to the balding area. For my next replacements, to eliminate many issues with the runflats, I would like to install the Michelin Pilot Sport Cups. If I do install the Pilot Sport Cups, I am pretty worried about getting a flat tire and then being stuck out in the middle of no where with no spare. No way I would leave my car out in the middle of no where without me being there either.

Do you guys with Nitto, Pirelli, Pilot Sport Cups, or anything except runflats worry about a flat tire with no spare?

Apparantly the '08 comes with a 'Tire Kit', which I'm pretty sure includes a small compressor, sealant, and whatever else?

I have PS2's on mine, and I want to see what the Dealer gets for one.

The compressor is available for sale separately... i bought one for my gen 3 when i put on the ps2 tires... now that i have a 08 it is for sale.. it is brand new .. still sealed in the box...includes compressor and liquid sealant cartridge.. completely safe for tire pressure sensor.. can also be used to maintain pressure..

Continental part # 1702301000
Retail $90.. yours for $55

'u tell me', since you have an '08, you can tell me first hand...what is all included in the 'tire kit' which is used to help in the event of a flat tire?

Thanks a bunch everyone!

just carry those little worm looking things that you jam in with a spike. I used one on my ford and the plug is still there 6 month's later. But with the viper I would get it fixed asap

I thought about A A A also, but every open flat bed trailer that I have seen (not the enclosed transports) would scrape the front end of my car (loaded frontwards or backwards), and my car is stock height. Is there a special flat bed trailer that must be requested?

Have any of you guys with lowered ride heights (4 or less inches of clearance) ever had to flat bed trailer your SRT-10?
