Forget Fix-a-Flat. Not reliable. Get plugs and a GOOD compressor.

Don’t have time to type it out now. My Death Valley experience almost killed me. Changed a whole lot about my approach to off-roading.

“Forget Fix-a-Flat. Not reliable. Get plugs and a GOOD compressor.”

Agree...I finally learned how to plug a tire after decades of ‘bringing flats in’ for repairs. Despite what many claim, if you plug a tire correctly (and it’s not on a sidewall), they last forever.

Now I have kits with an air pump, plugs, and tools. Used them a few times, but just at my house, and they worked fine.

...and no, I don’t even go off-road, just like to be able to do repairs rather than rely on others.
