Hi folks:

	For a really neat tire repair kit, look at the BMW kit that the 
dealers carry.  It has by far the best tire tools in the industry, a very 
nice lubricant for putting the new tire on, and a small, but not the 
greatest tire pump.  
	One hint on breaking the bead on those really tough ones, when your 
on the road, I have had some success using a friendly automobile to drive 
onto the tire just slightly to break the bead, just avoid any undue 
pressure on the rim, and be careful.  A car with an automatic works best, 
and it doesn't take much.
