I was a little concerned about the absence of a spare when considering
buying my Volvo bi-fuel, until I thought back over more than twenty years
of driving and realised that I'd used a spare just once (when at full speed
on a deserted country my front wheel hit a rock that had rolled out into the
road from a bank). I stopped worrying about the lack of spare. Of course
if you run off-road a lot or there's a lot of broken glass and other junk on
the roads in your area, it might be more of a worry, but I haven't had
occasion to test the aerosol yet ...

Get some of the aerosol tyre sealant. It won't repair a blow-out but if
you keep an eye on the condition of your tyres, blow-outs are rare
events. In fact if you keep an eye on your tyres having unexpected
problems is very rare indeed.
