I just carry a can of Flat-Fix. Don't want to give up the space in the trunk.
If it's a blow-out I'll get a tow, either way I would have to get a new tire.

Throw a set of coveralls about 2 sizes too big back in the trunk to slip on over your clothes. Keeps you clean if you have to fix a flat or anything else that might crop up. A zip lock bag with some handy wipes to clean your hands off is another thing to throw in the trunk.
This is great advice, thanks for sharing

I've been looking for a Supra TT Donut/Spare for about 3 years... maybe someday I'll find... every time I remember to check ebay... it' never there... I do keep 2 cans of Fix-a-Flat and try to just avoid messed up roads...The Toyo Proxie all seasons have been able to take the abuse of our messed up Oregon roads so far.
