Aside from banking the difference, the foot pump can also can be stored in the boot of your car in case you get a flat out on the road. b) Check if your car has a spare tyre in the boot (where the tools are). Normally I just put on the spare tyre and take my flat tyre to get professionally patched (with rubber cement etc.) - it costs around $30 here to get a tyre patched. c) I'm not sure DIY tyre repair is a good idea. Given that the "plug" you used came out several times before it "took", just consider what will happen if it comes out what you're driving at high speed - a blow out? Regards Some thoughts:
