A tire mobility kit is a package of equipment and accessories used for repairing vehicle tires. Hence, they are also called a tire repair kit or a tire inflator. The idea of a mobility kit is to have a small group of tools that are compact and easy to use. It benefits by taking up much less room in a trunk than even a temporary spare tire.
Canned tire inflators are single-use devices intended to provide a quick, temporary solution to drivers who experience flat tires. These devices seal the punctured tire and then reinflate it with pressurized gas, providing enough pressure to allow the auto to be driven for a short period at low speed.
Jacks and lug wrenches for emergency replacement of a flat tire with a spare are included with a new car.
