Plan A. Try to plug it and air it up with the kit I carry.
Plan B. Use a can of fix-a-flat. I know it'll ruin the pressure monitor, but I have a couple of extras with me.
Plan C. AAA flatbed time.

Get yourself a Continental inflator kit from Tire Rack. The goo will scrape off of the sensors when you get to the tire shop.....the kit is about $75 (or was last summer), and it fits great inside one of the small cubbyholes in the back, under the floor............

Recently I replaced the EMTs with GSD3s and the change in ride quietness is astounding. The smoothness was vastly improved as was anticipated but the quietness was a bonus I hadn't seen many people mention. Even in my cars that have a spare I've always carried a 12V pump and the highly reliable and quite permanent rope-type plug kit. I'd rather fix a flat tire while it's still on the car and be done with it. It has been about 35 years since I had a blowout and that was a defective tire.

Pray you don't hit an IDOT sized pothole during all this construction.

Roger the pot holes. From what I can determine the really damaging ones are the result of winter conditions that we don't see much in the south. Whatever the cause, the pot holes I see in Florida are usually not very deep.

Nothing wrong with the ride on my OEMs
Forget about trying to plug a flat on the side of the road
