Not sure about the compressor but the spike and plug kit can be had for ~$8 at a parts store...with the plugs.

Thank you.
After doing more research, seem like the Superflow MV50 would be a better choice.

The SafetySeal kit is better as far as the plugs and tools go, it does not inclued a compressor though. I have used the SafetySeal plug kit more than a hundred times without a single issue with the plugs leaking or pulling out.

A plug kit is good to a point if you mess up the side wall you have to replace the tire.Most shops don't use a plug kit anymore they take the tire off the rim and put a patch on the inside.

You can plug a sidewall in an emergency to get you off the trail, but you're right, the sidewall should never be repaired on any tire that is used on the street.

I simple carry the $8 plug kit from the part store and a patch kit, Never know when you or someone else might need one.

Yeah my shop uses a patch plug combo. Looks like a mushroom does a good job though.
