How to fix a front or rear flat tire on the road without carrying a spare

What do you do if your rear or front tire goes flat and a plug won’t work or is too difficult to set? And there is no spare tire! I recently had my first flat tire with my Michelin Primacy Self Seal tires on my Bolt EV / Ampera-e. The road side assistance set a plug as the self seal tire was still leaking air. But immediately I realized that plugging a rear tire that cannot be moved sideways will be a very tough to reach. Here is my solution to complement the plugging kit.

Best solution to fix a flat tire during a remote or long car road trip

With this Slime kit I can repair a leaking tire if it is too difficult to use one of the plugs like for example on the rear side of the car. These two items are in my opinion essential for any drivers that cannot carry a spare tire on board and can get you out of trouble in the middle of nowhere fast. Here are the links to the items I purchased on Amazon with my own money:

  1. Slime emergency flat tire repair (Amazon)
  2. Slime plug tire repair kit (Amazon)
