So those inflation/seal products are as much use as a chocolate teapot:
you get a repairable puncture but in the absence of a spare, in order to
continue driving you have to use the product and therefore render the
tyre unrepairable. Sounds like a nice little earner for the tyre
manufacturers. There's no substitute for a proper full-size spare that
is fully interchangeable with the running wheels and can be used as far
and as fast as the real tyres until you can take the punctured tyre to
be repaired.

+1 And yet lots of cars are sold without spare wheels. It isn't even
an option on some. "But punctures are very, Sir" Oh no, they're bl**dy not!
