No Spare Dilemna

I just replaced my run flats with Continental Extreme Contact DWS and wondered what you recommend in the way of a tire repair kit/tire slime/compressor. Is there a good kit available?

I bought a 2002 honda civic Si donut, I checked and it fits on the back wheel (not front). Although I had to spend some time using bungy cords to tie it in the truck nice and tight so it doesn't bang around.
When my run flats are worn out I plan on switching to regular tires, I might take the donut out and just carry a plug kit and pump instead.

I just picked up a plug kit at the auto parts store and a small compressor. I keep them in a bag in the boot along with a variety of other tools and items that stays in the MINI all the time.

here is the slickest plug kit out there, i have replaced all of mine with these

http://www.dynaplug.com/index.html

they also sell a $20 12V compressor on the site, or an inflator that uses little CO2 cylinders

before you go the slime route, ask a tire shop how much or even if they will repair a slimed tire
