'Slime' Smart Emergency Tyre Repair - any good?

[Flying machine]

Having just changed all of the tyres on my BMW to no runflats I'm looking for a good temporary tyre repair solution. Any suggestions?

With the money saved can you not just buy a spare wheel and jack kit?

That slime is fine I guess with a simple minor nail in the tread jobbie but what happens if its a more serious puncture say on a sidewall etc. or worse a blow out?

I fail to see the logic behind the no spare wheel thing and to have a spare wheel as an option on a new car. Crazy.

They are really only any good on more minor punctures. However, these are normally repairable but not if you use the slime.

Was in a tyre place recently and some chap cam in with tyre filled with slime and they said they couldn't repair it and it was £130 for a new bit of rubber.

Slime as in the brand slime which is green is water based and can be washed out and the tyre repaired. The one who was refused a repair either had a different type or was had over.
