I was sceptical about tyre repair kits they ship with a lot of new cars now, instead of a spare. The ones that pump sealant into the tyre while inflating it. But I’m a fan now, actually preferring it to a spare. Saves a lot of space and weight in the rear of a car, is much faster than changing a tyre, and also therefore much safer (a ridiculous number of people die changing tyres, when hit by other traffic).
