Default If you don't have a spare, what's your backup plan?

I've noticed that some people don't carry their spare with them, this is because they either have a sub box in the same location as the spare, or just to save weight...

but, what happens if you do happen to get a flat... what do you carry for that just in case **** happens.

I know about the few products in cans that are said to fix-a-flat..
I've also heard of instances where the gas is explosive...cause a tire does get hot at times...

doing a google search on "fix-a-flat" by penzoil....i found this: http://www.epinions.com/content_254719790724

but how many of you actually carry a can of it in your car?
and what else do you car for that - **** i got a flat - situation?

If you see that your tire is low on air, theoretically, you should be able to fix it with the mentioned product. But if you get a flat while driving and the tire comes off the rim, good luck repairing that one.

Spare tire in a can, carry the space saver spare when you are on a trip, or do as I do, when I go on any trip out of town, I made a custom mount for a full size tire on my 5th TSW rim. that "plugs" into the trailer hitch receiver I have hidden behind my licence plate, it also holds the stock jack 94

Complimentary Roadside Assistance baby! FTW! Just check the tire pressure regularly and that problem should be avoided significantly.
