Flat tire repair kit
Our Travato 59k does not have a spare tire. We have a kit with the green gooey stuff and compressor. Has anyone used this and is it successful. Thanks. .Wayne in Mass

Whatever you do, don't plug a radial tire.
It may run a mile, or it may run 1,000 miles, but sooner or
later the "working" of the steel belts will cause the plug
to start leaking air around it.
Also, don't shoot any "fix-a-flat" material into any tire you
want repaired later. The repairman hates the stuff since he/she
has a very hard time cleaning the area before it can be properly
repaired.
If it were me I would figure out a way to carry a spare tire.
