Can you change a tyre?

[Devonian]

I think just about anyone on here would have the skills and tools to change a tyre (wheel), or at least I hope so!!

But building on what S13 has posted, how many of us are equipped to repair and plug a puncture in a tyre, after all after an event, ATS or Kwik Fit are unlikely to be open, or what if you end you driving across a bed of nails puncturing more than one tyre, your one spare wouldn't be use!

So get yourself a tyre repair kit and know how to use it.

I've carried a kit similar to this for several years in my land Rover and it's worth it's weight in gold:
