New Jag owner! 2016 F-type S; what is recommended to have in trunk (since there is no spare) to provide a fix to a flat tire when out on the road?

Jaguar kindly provides a mobility kit, consisting of a can of sealant, and compressor. Others have talked about a plug kit.

A can of "Fix a Flat" and a AAA card.

If you go on a long road trip and get an unrepairable flat, you will be towed to the nearest shop and they probably will not have your tire in stock. Not even a Jaguar dealer might have it in stock. This means you could be staying in a hotel for a couple of days waiting for a tire to arrive. Not fun. Been there done that. For long road trips I now only use my other car that has a spare tire.

Probably a fare belief. I, however, am 71 years old and have, to the best of my still pretty damn sharp memory, have had zero blow outs that couldn't be repaired - not to imply it isn't possible but the odds are pretty much in favor of a repairable flat. His point however is certainly valid no matter the odds......I'm still driving the V 8 S!
