8. 10 years ago I bought a Slime

Here is the thing for a flat tire. I bought the one that goes up to 100 PSI, why, because buying a cheaper one takes forever to inflate a flat tire. The slime 100 pound psi Model # 8023559 is the one I have.

Plugs into your car's cigarette lighter, has a quick connect fitting that just snaps over your tire's valve stem, has a light if you need it at night. $47.00 was the price I saw, but maybe can get it cheaper from a different seller.

As far as how often you will use it. I have used mine on my wheelbarrow tire, bicycle tires, car tires.

Just turn on the car key, do not start the car, hook it up, press the button and watch the gage.

Even with this 100# inflater it will take 15 minutes to inflate a flat tire, their ad claims 10, maybe so.
