i have never carried the spare tyre on the defender since i brought it while driving around town. this is because it sits on the bonnet and Megs hates it
well guess what, picked up a nail on the way to work this morning, jumped out of the rig and heard a hissing noise, now she is sitting in the carpark with a jack under her, good thing work had a ute sitting around to drop the tyre off to a repairer.
what a good way to start the day

SubscriberA string repair kit is a good thing to have in the car. Nearly all punctures around town are nails/screws etc. A string kit fixes em up in a minute.
You of course have to have a pump, or you can have a number of CO2 bottles and the little doover which screws onto the valve.
I had about 5 punctures in my motorcycle tyres over a couple of years , and string was the go every time. Bloody nails get flipped into the centre of the lane you see.
