Well seeing as the average vehicle (which covers about 90% - 95% of all cars) doesn't have "run flat "tyres , my original argument still stands.

I wasn't even suggesting run flat tyres. It's not really an argument, just a difference of opinion to a risk. I'm prepared to work on the basis that a blow is a very unlikely event for my situation.

Fair comment I guess we'll agree to differ in your circumstances, but I would certainly favour the space saver or traditional spare over the tyre weld for the vast majority of drivers.
Also I'd like to point out that once used , the tyre weld renders the damaged tyre useless as it's only intended as a "get you home" resort whereas the traditional spare/spacesaver can be used and the punctured tyre repaired at your convenience.:beer:

wrap the spare in a binliner while you have it out, it wont get all mucky and rusty when you need to use it
