Along the lines of just-in-case or emergency tools/supplies - What do you consider necessary or just nice to have?

Should be obvious but you should have tire repair stuff in your car. Especially since no one includes a spare tire kit anymore.

I got a tiny Harbor Freight air pump I keep in my car. It saved my ass on my last road trip when I ended up in the middle of absolutely nowhere with a tire pressure warning on. Stopped every couple of hours to air it back up until I got to the nearest Discount Tire on my journey. I also keep a tire plug kit!

I have to chime in with a “Discount Tire kicks ass.”

Also it’s known as America’s Tire in California (the Discount Tire name was already taken when they arrived to the California market).

Yeah they've been taking good care of me and my family for years.

I was about to rage before I remembered my beef is with tires+. Every time I tried to take something in there, they would say "it's illegal to..." No it isn't, you're just trying to upsell me.
