The majority of modern vehicle manufacturers have gone away from supplying new vehicles with a spare tire and instead have gone to providing a puncture sealant and compressor in the trunk of the vehicle. The main reason they claim that this is being done is for cost savings and to reduce the weight of the vehicle to improve fuel economy.
While this sounds like a great resolution you must understand that the tire puncture sealant is designed to get you to a dealer or service provider and is not intended to be a permanent fix for your punctured tire.
The residue caused by the sealant will need to be cleaned and removed from the wheel before the tire can be properly repaired. This will come at an additional cost to you for the time involved. You will also then have to purchase another can of sealant in the event that you end up with another flat tire.
In this video we show the aftermath of the sealant and what is involved with removing it once it is installed in the tire.
