Okay using tire sealant is better than being stuck with a flat tire. But Tire sealant is awful. The sealant makes a mess. The tire sealant can also damage TPMS sensors. All in all a tire plug kit and compressor is a much better option to make a quick tire repair.

Eats the wheel and destroys TPMS
its better than walking, the end.
I really hate that newer cars usually don't come with actual spare tires anymore. Yes you never want to use one, but if you have to, these "insta fix" cans are a real mess. Every garage worker has nightmares about these.
Anyone tries to fix that tire needs to be banned from working on vehicles.
Just plug it. Get a good plug kit though. The cheap ones bend to easy.
F fixAflat!!!
New cars are stupid, super expensive and built cheaper and cheaper as time goes on.
I bought a VW Jetta in '10, brand new at the time and it didnt have a spare. Same compressor and gak to put in the tire. I flat out told the dealer, I want the car. I dont care about the trunk space. Include a matched rim and tire and we are settled. After a brief match, I shook his hand to leave and went back to my truck. Manager followed me out there and told me he'd do it. On the way home(90 miles exactly)on I10 in W. TX., the sidewall blew out on the r/f. Thank god for the full sized spare
How bout you just keep an electric air pump and a tire plug kit in your car🤷♂️
That's why I buy thr bottle that says fix a flat, it's liquid is different and it dries up not leaving a mess
