I've only had one sidewall flat. Then again, I've only had 3 ever. The sidewall was from punching a curb while acting like a reject while driving. The other two were a nail and a rock, both in the tread, and both repaired using a you're plug and a compressor. The compressor weighs about as much as a good tire iron.

Really, I don't carry a spare. Must times, I don't have the plugs or compressor, either. Even on long trips.
