Like jayzee I was unable to avoid a catastrophic slash in the side of my tyre. I was lucky to get the car off the road to a layby. I was so thankful I had a real spare which also meant the eventual replacement of the tyre was a breeze as I left the wheel with the garage and collected when it was ready. I carry a tin of sealer/inflator also and next time I will make the choice again at that moment - blow up a lightly damaged tyre and write it off versus changing a wheel in my best gear on the way out. Belt and braces for me and s*d the extra weight and fuel.
