I know the Xfire does not have a spare tyre in the event you get a flat. So what do you do if you get a flat? I've not got my car yet so I'm just curious. I'm sure there is some foam gas canister or something you fill the tyre with to get you home but I just wanted to check. What is it, how does it work, and where is it kept in the Xfire?

Thanks.

 

You are right.

A can of glue and a air compressor that is powered by ciggy lighter.

Not the best. I got a punture in the side wall which resulted in a small leek. Could not repair so a replacement tire was required.

In my option the damage was bad enought to have a blow out. As it was on the inside side wall I did'nt notice it untill I check the air pressure and it was down by 5pds. Took tire off and found the damage.

Hi...


The tire repair goop and air compresser come with the car... fitted into it's own spot in the trunk bottom...

You may also want to keep a plug kit in the trunk. They are only a few bucks and you can avoid using the goop for most puncture repairs. It is a fairly simple process to plug the tire and use the compressor supplied with the car to air it up. I used it on a simple nail puncture last month when in the middle of nowhere. Just a little added insurance..
