Mobility kit

Hi guys
I know a lot of you recently upgraded your tires and got rid of th rft tires. What kind of mobility kit do you carry around with? Do you need the one with the portable air compressor or will the one use can be sufficient?

dont worry, if u break down in busy place the police will take care of you and move you to a safe place, if you're not blocking anyone, u can always leave it there and take care of it later when the tire shops open (or u can call a tow truck to move your car, but this is not really necessary..)

if your tire is so flat u cant drive, pumping in more air probably wont stay there long enough for you to get to tire shop.. so prob cant help much

low chance of complete blowout, but u cant do anything in that case anyway. more likely slow puncture ... u can get it repaired

so just drive happy, no spare tire + no mobility kit

I plan to get the BMW mobility kit when I change my tires to non-RFT. Just can't take the risk after the bad experience I had in the tunnel.
