Car in for its MOT today and apparently the fronts are worn (I should have looked properly rather than a cursory glance at the outside!)
Anyway, given that the rears will need doing in a couple of months anyway I've decided to try losing the runflats to help a little with comfort/noise and reduce the risk of cracking the 19's
Anyone recommend a gunge-pump to carry around? Are the little cans ok or is there a reasonably cost-effective proper pump jobby? What does everyone else use?

Tyre-weld in the boot for me as a limp home option. Anything more than that I'd be calling recovery out anyway.
