So, driving down the M25 on Friday night, the TPS goes off. Pull over to the hard shoulder, can't see anything wrong. Get to the next services and check the pressures, all ok. reset the light at the side of the road and it didn't come back on.
But, this got me thinking. Having just shelled out £££ on tyres, i would be very reluctant to full one of them full of foam to get me to a garage when it would result in the tyre being binned.
What are people's thoughts on here? What have people done before? My thought would be to call out Roadside Assist, but would they come out?

Same here, I'd not ruin a £200 tyre with foam either as usually it don't work anyway.
If I am out overnight or out of hours I normally throw a spare rim/tyre in the boot and would call out AA if need to change it
to/from trackdays same but I have all the kit anyway
otherwise just live with the risk

What would you do if you were caught without? Would the AA recover you for a flat?
