Non run flat tires
I just purchased my first C5 2004 Corvette. I can seeI have a lot to learn about this high tech machine.
I have heard non-run flat tires are quiterand smoother running than run flat tires.
This sounds like a good option to consider. But since the car does not have a spare or a jack what do you do if the non-run flat tire gets a flat?

you can get a very simple, small, yet effective pump that plugs into your cigarette lighter for about $30 i think, and it will fit in the center cargo compartment under the big lid in the trunk. beyond that, fix a flat and tire plug kits are only a couple of bucks each. the nice thing is, unless you just hit a nail and the tire goes down fast, your tire pressure monitoring system should catch it as it starts getting low.

Thanks for the info.
I carry a 350 amp battery Jump Start unit which also has an air pump attachedto it.
This unit does fit in the center trunk compartment.
This unit gives me piece of mind for a possable dead battery and now also a pump for a flat non-flat run tire.
I will purchase a can of Fix A Flat and I should be all set.
Thanhs again.

Hey spoiler: I switched a couple of months ago to KUMHO's non run flats and found an emergency tire repair kit at any walmart for about $20 which includes D/C pump and a bottle of green slime tire repair. The change from the run flats are great.
