With 1,700 on the odo, I was doing about 60mph when I hear a POP. There was about a 2 second lag before LOW TIRE started flashing. Thankfully the tpms was quick enough to alert me because the owner's manual states that it might not alert right away. I got off the exit, located the hole and proceeded to repair and inflate the tire with this kit from Adventure Designs: http://store.advdesigns.net/mitipukitwit.html
I was back on the road in less then 10min. I definitely recommend this kit as it's very compact and lightweight.

That's an awesome looking tire pump - much smaller than the one I have tucked away in the left side quarter panel of the boot. So the pump has enough power to fairly quickly get the tire to 35 to 40 PSI?

It comes in a small enough package that I took out the bulky foam piece which holds the jack and tools and put it in there. I wrapped the jack and tools in an old shirt so nothing rattles.
It has plenty of power. Filled up the tire relatively quick. I recommend this to everyone with a MCS.
WORD OF ADVICE: A plug is only a temporary fix and you should have it patched at a tire shop as soon as possible. Don't let anyone tell you it's fine the way it is.
