I got a gash too big for the FixaFlat stuff to work on. The GM 24 hour service was fine, sorta, but it was just a tow truck to take me to a tire store.

I did spend some time trying to find an actual spare tire, along with a jack and lug wrench. Jack and lug wrench were easy, but spare tire took a lot of work. Try asking at tire stores, mechanics, junkyards...

My new Chevy has a donut spare-- I guess there were too many complaints.
