Having recently looked at the new Ssangyong Rexton as a replacement towcar, it does not have a spare tyre but instead one of those 'tyre mobility kit'...compressor and slime!

Does anybody have experience (unfortunately) of using these kits whilst towing?

And before someone says buy a spare wheel & tyre there is no room underneith because if the adblue tank.

Pleased I had a spare for the caravan when I got a puncture, even the can for the goo wouldn't have filled this. A biker pointed to the wheel as he overtook me on a country lane, as I pulled up smoke was coming from the tyre and this was the result

That would need a lot of gloop, maybe some duct tape too?

Our Santa Fe as the spare slung under the rear, the new rextons sold in korea, south americas etc have full size spare alloy also slung underneath but they dont have the adblue tank on the home market as i guess euro6 does not apply...
