Wow, you must have some horrible luck. Or driving in a really bad spot.

In the 16 years I've been driving I've gotten a flat tire only twice.

I've only been driving for a little over 5 years and they've all been with my Camaro. The only flat that I've ever had...was from when I got a little loose going around a corner and my rear tire broke the bead. But in regards to the spare tire...I just want it to be accessible. I would love to just lift a door/lid, whatever, and just lift the tire out. But either way, I know that a full-size spare is out of the question. It would be nice, but it would never happen...I don't think so, at least I guess since I've devoted myself to driving Camaros, I've just come to accept the little donut spare

My first preferance is for a full sized spare.

2nd is dount spare

3rd is runflats

4th is fix-a-flat can kinda thing

This is because if the tire shreads, your screwed with the last two.

AAA is great if you've got half a day to wait for them.

i always have a small portable compresser in my car, but i wouldn't want to have to use it to continue on down the highway...maybe to limp around town so i can fix it.

how does the fix a flat work? spray it in then use a compressor and it will hold temporarily?
