Good for a short ride home or bike shop, in case you're not equipped (like I wasn't)
Sounds like it could be good insurance.
I'd be happy to sell everyone with flat issues Schwalbe Marathon Plus tires, but for some, a $50/tire solution is sometimes not reasonable. Alternatives that work are worth knowing about.
