Pretty old thread so I'm not sure if its been recommended yet, but I went the other way on the air pump - got a Coleman manual/foot operated air pump for $12 at Fred Meyer, after my fancy schmancy electric air pump that ran off the lighter crapped out mid-way through its first flat reinflation. I decided never to trust to electronics again for something like air in my tires. ymmv - the tire plug kit is a very good idea though, also saved my hide on a forest road last year.

I went thru several of those $30 plug in the cigarette lighter compressors, finally got fed up and bought something similar to this. It can actually put 90 pounds of air into an RV tire...

I read about this just before I went to a trade show. Folks from Rescue Tape were there selling 1"x12' .20 rolls for $20 for 3 rolls. The industrial 2"x36" .30 for $20 as well.

Their website seems to be way overpriced encouraging folks to buy from tradeshows.

Thanks to this forum and it's members again about a handy product I would not have known about.

Update: I ended up picking up the 1x12 rolls for $5 each at the tradeshow.
