Tire Mobility Kit
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. An air compressor with a connected hose and a thick sealant container is generally included in the package. And, the most attractive thing about these kits is that they barely weigh 1-2 pounds. So, carrying them doesn’t get any easier.
