john . for going to maroc i would advise a
two good spares . 4 inner tubes . and a good set of chewing gum /tyre string repair set . and a good electric compressor. t-max is on usedby the 4x4 boys. although in maroc getting a puncture repaied can be cheap tyres are expensive ,in fact uk is possibly the cheapest place in europe for tyres. every body should have a practice at home for changing wheels . remember when you change a flat you will need a few inches of lift spare to allow for the pumped up tyre. a few wooden blocks etc and a couple of good wedges are handy as well. plus a good socket and a good long flexy bar to undo /tighten up. in the ideal world 10minutes is all it should take to change wheels even quicker would be nice. waiting by the road side for a recovery is dngerous in its self . better to be organised and get going quickly.

best is pump up tyre . while its still on the vehicle .
find problem. remove nail screw ?
push in the rough up tool
fit chewing gum /string to other tool .
push in to hole . turn tool pull out .
hoopefully its not leaking check pressure ,if low pump up again .
thats the way to do it.
amazing how many you can repair like this with out even removing the wheel.
very occasionaly it takes a couple of inserts but so long as its not leaking well done.
of course by the time you have driven all the way home from maroc . remember they arent recognised as a safe repair here so get it fixed properly . right ! of course .
not for tyre walls . but amazing bits of kit.
and dont throw your nuts down the drains . wont be the first time , think most of us have done it at least once .
i always carry at least one wheel set of spare wheel fixings . but its possible to take one nut/bolt from all the others and carefully drive on to a local garage /spares shop.

if we are talking tyre string's,i use them all the time,i carry a set in the motorhome along with a ring compressor:thumb:I keep those puncture repair kits in stock.. Very VERY popular with motorcyclists as it saves so much grief !
I have even done a track day on the blackbird with a tyre that had a plug in ( had little choice as I got the puncture on the way to Donny and I was not about to loose the £120 paid for the ticket ! )
Was more than a little wary to start with but then the old adrenalin kicks in and the puncture gets forgotten ! :Blush:

John You said that the tyre was only flat at the bottom. Why didnt you turn it over so that it was flat at the TOP.
