the patch kit does come with the car but I know first hand knowledge it doesn't always help or work. I was stranded on the famous HWY 1 out here in CA for 5 hours waiting for a tow truck one year due to a flat. Tire patch kit didn't do squat. I told myself I would consider putting a spare wheel in my trunk if I ever were to go on a trip like that again. I knew a lot of members on here who were commenting in that thread also that did the same. I think its smart even just to get you close by where you can address the problem. But I personally would only consider this on a trip where I know the route would be isolated such as the situation I was in on HWY 1. I wouldn't do it for a DD on my normal commutes
