Depends on the country as they are not included in Canada and you need to purchase separately. Just look at the locks for a single bolt on each wheel that looks different from the others.

So you found the nail before the tire lost pressure?

Well the car car told me "pressure loss" i checked pressures and 1 was very slighty down so i reset the computer . i checked tyre and the nail was there to see so it must have been a very slow leak.
Garage said it was fine and repaired it withen 15 mins.
