aerosol tyre sealant
The new Boxster comes without even a half size spare wheel and only the dreaded aerosol can of foam to use in an emergency. I plan to drive in out of the way areas in northern Spain and Portugal and may be some distance from a source of a replacement tyre if I have a puncture.
My question is: HOW FAR CAN I SAFELY DRIVE on a tyre that has been repaired with these cans of foam assuming one drives slowly and sensibly to recognise that a tyre repaired in such a way is not suited for high speed? WHAT IS A SAFE SPEED?

What does the driver's manual tell you. I'd say no more than 50 miles at no more than 50mph.
