Re: Anyone Carry a Portable Tire Inflator/Compressor?
My wifes brand new 2014 Honda Civic Hybrid came with one. Instead of a spare tire, even a donut temporary one, they give you a can of flat fixer and a miniture inflator to plug into the power port. No cigarette lighters these days. The car has the spare tire well, even the place to bolt a spare down, but to save weight they put a styrofoam block in there with the flat repair kit. You don't even get a jack and lug wrench! It's a good thing we have AAA!
You won't be hurt by carrying one on your longer tours and probably will never use it simply because you have it.
