I carry a plug repair kit. I have found that every flat I've ever had in the past 20 years has been either a screw or nail in the tire. It's usually a good idea to carry a flat head and phillips screw driver with a pair of pliars.

Once I've jacked up my smart on the side of the road to take the strain off the flat tire, taken off the flat, what next? Do I walk to the nearest service station with my tire on my back? I thought that the reason smart gave me the flat fix kit was to get me to the service station without having to jack up my car. Right?

A must have for those of you doing a lot of driving.
