Not debating that a spare tire would be good to have, but did you try the tire seal goop? I wonder if it would have gotten you far enough to get the tire repaired/replaced.
Got my little maglight out . Saw that bolt and by that time the tire was flat . You could hear the air rushing out . After pulling the bolt out at home I know why . The chrome tube the bolt was in was like a big straw the size of my finger. I could turn the bolt with my hand while waitning for my wife to arrive with the small alloy floor jack and the mini spare from her 300. The sealer would have been useless. I had many people offer help while waiting for my wife. They all raved about the car. I'm just lucky I got off the hwy before the tire was completely flat.
