Finishing the journey and getting the probably knackered tyre replaced along with a new can of gunk ready for the next time.

I'm afraid I do find myself leaning towards the first scenario as a preference if I must suffer a puncture during Winter.
I get that.... I just detest run-flats. Dealer advised me that they've moved on leaps and bounds since my 57 plate 320D Tourer, but once bitten....
