My concern is when the pucture is not easily visible and accesible and you don't have the jack to take off the wheel to find it.
Buy a can of foaming windscreen/windshield cleaner (like mixra ), if you spray on tyre/tire it then forms bubbles where leak is, so visible even in poor light.

I'll put one in with the kit when I get it. I'm replacing the rfts for some off road tires so the kit is a requirement in case I get a flat.
I don't want to put a spare inside the car and take all the space under the floor storage area, the kits sounds like a better option for me.
