berky- pretty much any cheepo air compressor will work as long as it has
a cigarette lighter socket. Mine's like a cheepo $25 one, but it's
actually pretty quick to fill the tires, even 275/35/19's. I have a 13.8v
powersupply 25A in the garage so I use that as my source.

I keep a Fix-A-Flat bottle, but ive been fortunate enough not to have to
use it first hand. If you have low profile tires (like 215/35/18's) you may not be
able to get the foam evenly throughout the tire. in that case, roadside
assistance might be best.
