The tiny compressor with some tire sealer / glue that you inject into the wheel to seal air leak will only work if you have slow air leak and you woke up this morning and find the tire completely down to the rim.

Most vehicles that were equipped with emergency spare tire will also have minimal tools needed to swap out damaged tire with temporary wheel and continue driving. If you still have owners manual in the car, you will find a section with clear instruction how to change a flat tire on your own.

To start you should park on a flat ground, preferably cement or black top. It is super important to set your hand brake (parking brake or e-brake), to prevent any rolling. First, while your car is on the ground remove spare tire and set it on the ground, next with tire tools get the nuts of the tire loose (you may need to use your body weight to break them loose). Lift the car by placing jack in the proper jacking point. Unscrew tire nuts and remove punctured tire and install temporary wheel. Tighten tire bolts and lower the car to the ground. Re-tighten tire nuts securely by using more force.
