[urq] no spare wheel at all ?

[brozmotorz]

in my eyes, no spare wheel is not an option. I know flats become rare 
nowadays but they do happend.
A lot less than 15 years ago when I worked at the gas station, then I would 
do 4/5 everyday but that was mainly because then there were no mandatory 
tech check and people would still use bald tires.
we still have people coming in the shop with wheels to repair and only about 
1 on 3 is vandalism...the others are staples, screws (those modern 
all-materials-screws are like barbwire !), glass, gravels...rubber is still 
rubber, no matter what.
spraycan flat saver is not an option. they trash rims and tires and not 
always work !
the only other option is tubeless repair kit and inboard compressor. I have 
them but it is not always possible to fit them correctly on the roadside 
especially at night and I mainly use the car at night and often in 
industrial zones, will let you figure out why. If I can avoid a flatbed 
truck trip, I like that better and my wallet too.
what is a "good tire" that does not get flat when pierced up ? Solid rubber 
or tank tracks maybe ? ;-)
