- 12 V compressor.
- Torque wrench.
- Scissor jack.
- Plugging kit.

Regular tires have less unsprung mass, which will provide more grip. They are also less prone to tramlining, and they are cheaper to replace. You also have more available tires to choose from.
+ 1.... As soon as my original tyres wear down i will be replacing with non run flats.... I've used Falken FK452 tyres in the past....the ride, grip, feed back, even wear etc is far superior to run flats... plus much cheaper... the only down side is road noise.
