Given this situation, what would you do if you had a flat tire while driving and found out that your spare tire DID NOT HAVE ANY AIR?

Many people are faced with this problem at one time or another. I used to drive around without even thinking about "what if" I was faced with this problem. Now I always carry a small portable air compressor in the trunk of my car, Just in case. Thanks

I would leave the original flat tire on, not put the spare on, and drive on the flat tire for as short of time as possible until I was able to get somewhere safe to get help. A lot of people want to stop immediately when they get a flat. But you can drive on it for awhile if needed.

That is Very good thinking. Nowadays, you never know when and who will suddenly stop (supposedly to render aid) and winds up robbing you or worst yet, harming you, severely. At least with the vehicle in motion, not very many people will try anything. Thanks

I would feel very very embarrass finding my spare tire not working too. But since it is my fault not able to check it before going anywhere, I can't do nothing more but to call for help.
