Got a nail in my back passenger side tyre last week. it was a slow puncture located near the centre.
Easy enough job to change tyres, especially by having the full size spare (like I have).
Only downside is that those alloys are really heavy to shift
Got the tyre repaired, and its back on the car now.
Note: that even if you have the spare, you can contact the rescue services (AA, RAC and possibly green flag, at no charge), if you do not feel capable of changing a tyre yourself. Its a lot easier if you have a spare tyre available, even a spacesaver.
If you have no spare, and only a compressor and goo kit that fails to get the tyre operation again, you can call in the rescue services, though they may charge to go and get the tyre repaired. Plus you have the hassle of a longer wait till its sorted.
