Hi folks: For a really neat tire repair kit, look at the BMW kit that the dealers carry. It has by far the best tire tools in the industry, a very nice lubricant for putting the new tire on, and a small, but not the greatest tire pump. One hint on breaking the bead on those really tough ones, when your on the road, I have had some success using a friendly automobile to drive onto the tire just slightly to break the bead, just avoid any undue pressure on the rim, and be careful. A car with an automatic works best, and it doesn't take much. Dennis Blanchard Hampstead, N.H.

I've seem this work. You just need a can that has the clearance to place both the jack and tire under the car. Mark Pulver.
