    Thanks a lot, gentlemen!
    I have Toyo 295/45/R20 tires, so 30.45 in diameter..
    Will make a stop at the car shop and buy a sealer, a tire plug kit, and a couple of extra valves... Please let me know if you have any specific brand recommendations

    Thumbs up

    What Solitude says. Don't mess with the canned "sealer" fix-a-flat crap. Slime all your tires now and pick up the Slime tire repair kit that comes with plugs, more slime and a handy compressor. The compressor works great, I used mine to air up the huge front tires on an M35A2 recently acquired.

    Slime is great stuff, non-flammable, and you can leave it in there before you get a flat. I use it in all kinds of stuff like my mower tires, presta bicycle tubes, tractor tires, truck tires, especially where I'm likely to get punctures like off-road or heavy brush. Then again I buy this stuff by the gallon!

    Got a roof rack? Excellent place for full-size offroad spare. Just like Marlin Perkins!
