Going on a trip or even just traveling around the city, you need to understand and accept: “something of something” will be in the wheel one day, then the foreign body must be sorted out and the tire repaired. Reinforced cord, they said, Kevlar fiber, extra layers, a special rubber compound. Russia, we say, and we get closer to the truth. Unfortunately, roads are not cleaned after accidents, garbage flows from vehicles, and not only citizens themselves are not yet accustomed to value “transport arteries” as their property and, as a result, respect cleanliness on the side of the road and in the lane.
So a flat wheel is a common, regular concept and not surprising at all. Spare wheel, key, jack, mounting tires – a sequence of actions that have been honed over the years. At least on the Moscow ring road, at least in the “milt” outback.

We collect “good leftovers” and go to the nearest master, because it is not customary for us to move without a spare wheel. Itself is more expensive.
