Just a side-note on tire repair kits.
If you have a puncture and use one of these plugging kits to get back on the road, it's a really, really, good idea to stop at a tire shop and have the dealer finish the job.
Plugs are considered in the tire industry to be a temporary repair. Have a dealer dismount the tire, cut off the part of the plugging material flush with the inner liner of the tire, and then install a patch to cover the hole with remaining plug in it.
This prevents the possibility of air migrating through the inner liner, around the plug, and into the ply layers of the tire causing a separation and failure. These are especially a problem when driving in hot climates. It's just good insurance and highly recommended by RMA, Tire Manufacturers, and Tire repair material manufacturers as well.
