A can of this should do the trick.  There are enough tyre places locally if you get a puncture, just bung this in and drive slowly to the repair place.  Just make sure you get the bigger can as the small cans only do small tyres.

no golf clubs at all:
Do these filler foam jobbies not wreck the tyre? Meaning that should your tyre have been repairable you now would need a new tyre?

Or do tyre places not fix tyres anymore? (am I showing my age) :rolleye:

That is my understanding on one of the pitfalls of using the foam repair.

Yeah mine too.  And its obviously no use if you have a blowout / rip a hole in the tyre ...
