I was just comparing this to an incident I had ~2 yrs ago with my other car. Driving on the NJ Tpke, I had a tire blow out. After I pulled off the hwy, I found the sidewall had a hole in it large enough to put my fist thru. (Don’t think a compressor w/ sealer would have helped here.) This car had a compact spare, which I installed and was back on the road in ~15 min and reached my destination, about an hour away w/o further incident. The next morning, I drove to a tire store to buy a replacement tire. This was all done with a minimum of impact to my travel plans. What would have happened if I was stuck on the NJ Tpke, late at night, far from home, with NO SPARE?
