Tow it back to your house, take the tire to be fixed in another vehicle, call it good.

Flats are so rare, that i don't think the 20lb spare tire is worth it..... I've never had one, just avoid pot holes....
The oversight here is when one is travelling and isn't anywhere near home, which we have a few members on here who do, and is usually when life decides it's time for you to experience a flat tire. Jäger just recently went on a road trip over the summer that he shared with us on here, and he experienced a rear flat on the craptastic highways of OK not even halfway through his round-trip journey. And he had that car packed to the gills, but he didn't leave home without that spare.

One of those reasons why I don't beat myself up too much about not going with a 987...I still have a spare.
