I replaced my RFTs this weekend with high performance tires. I bought a can of goo and now look for a small but effective air compressor. Anyone have any favorites? Some I tried in the past took forever. Some were way too bulky. Thanks.

I have the BMW Mobility Kit which has a can of goo, a small compressor and gloves (to use the term loosely). Maybe you can get the BMW compressor as a stand alone - it is small.

the stock set up that came with the m is pretty small and complete.

I bought one from Griot's Garage: www.griotsgarage.com in lieu of the more expensive M Mobility Kit.

Haven't had occasion to try it out, but it's small and supposed to inflate a tire quickly. Item 10299 in their catalog, $59.

Thanks to all. I bought Fix-a-Flat under $5. Force One compressor for about $20. Inflates pretty fast. Good to go!

I bought a "Slime Tire Repair" kit that has tire sealant and a 12v compressor for $20 at Autozone a while ago. Haven't had to use the tire sealant yet, but the compressor works well enough for the price.
