My two cents FWIW
I am not a fan of tire sealants.
I am a fan of tire plug repair kits and a compressor.
Motorcycle stores sell compact plug kits...variety of choices.
Compressor...depends on size you want...again many choices.
(A compressor with a lamp could be desirable)
Sealant...your call as a supplement in case plug doesn't full seal.

I carry small pumps and sticky strings in both the motorcycle and vette. The one below fits in the floor compartment well in the vette.
A pump like this:
Sticky strings like this:
Replace the sticky strings and rubber cement every two years as they do dry with age.

I switched to non-run flats also.....I bought a kit from Griot's Garage....high quality kit with pump, gauge, sealant all in nice carry bag. Same as used in Porsches and Mercedes. Sealant safe for tire pressure monitors. Delivered it was about $65 as I recall. I also bought a plug kit with tire reaming tool just for insurance. Actually used it on my '51 Chevy when I found a flat after being parked in the garage a couple of weeks...big old nail picked up somewhere. No further problems.

Bummer. When I bought it I wondered how that stuff would hold up stowed away in the car with extreme temperatures and age. Thanks for the info.
