I made that error in refering to the UK as being in Europe. I was scolded by a waiter at Simpson's in London at length about the dividing line between Europe and the UK.
Tirefit is a can filled with a propellant and some kind of "prune" juice to reinflate & seal a punctured tyre along the roadside. Its for the lassies I think, because any real man knows how to ring the AA, or turn a spanner to change the wheel himself.

Yeah, we get the "mini-spare" as OEM on the CDN B-Class, but tirefit is like what the smarts get - the supposed repair kit.
I have seen tirefit in action on a friend's smart, and the result has caused me to carry a super-skinny spare in my smart, which fits behind the fully extended driver's seat.
