Have you ever been on the side of the road with a flat tire? When you go to get your spare tire you realize you don’t have one in your car. Or how about how big those tires are. They are taking up so much space in your car. Did you know there are alternatives to having a spare tire in your car? Highway 30 Towing has a few alternatives you can use and have in your car when you don’t have a spare tire.
 

Fix a Flat Tire Inflator Kits

A tire inflator kit can really help you when you are stuck on the side of the road with a flat. The great thing about a tire inflator kit is that it can be easier to use than changing a tire. When you use a tire inflator it can seal the leak, air up your tire, and get you on your way. The inflator kit is smaller than a spare tire so it will fit great in your car, not to mention that many cars don’t actually have a spare tire in their car. This is a great option to have in case of an emergency.
 

Run Flat Tires

Run-flat tires are a great tire to have on your car. With these tires, if you get a puncture in them, you are still okay to drive on them until you get to a shop to fix it. These are great so you don’t have to pull over and try and change a tire on the side of the road. With these tires, they have a sidewall construction that will continue to help support your car when you are diving and when the tire is losing air. You cannot drive on these tires for a long period of time, just enough to get to a place you need to, to get it changed.
 

Self-Sealing Tires

Tires that self-seal are another type of run-flat tires. These self-sealing tires can help you continue on your way when a puncher happens to your tire. These tires have an extra lining inside the tire that has a gel sealant. When you get a puncture the sealant will immediately fill in the puncture making a permeant seal. With the puncture sealed, you can safely continue on your way.
 

Towing Your Car

If you do not have a spare in your car or any of these other options you can always call a towing company that can tow your vehicle to a tire shop. Having a towing company come and get your car, you will know that you will get a new tire and have it put on properly without you having to do the work.
