Default tirefit system?

I recently purchased a 2006 Crossfire Limited. How do you guys deal with having no spare especially on a long trip? Also the only items in the cargo area is the jack and lug wrench. Im assuming im missing the Tirefit System thats outlined in the owners manual. Where would be the best place to purchase perhaps a used system to save some bucks? Im planning on making the trip from Virginia to the Maryland car show in August and want to be prepared for the road trip. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I bought another front 18" wheel and correct tire size for the front. It fits on the trunk floor flat (with a push). It fits tight . A rear tire would not fit. I had a flat and drove the car carefully for a few days with a front wheel and tire on the rear with out problems. It does take up about 20% of your trunk space.

Rather than getting the sealer that comes with our cars I suggest you just get the air pump only and then purchase a tire plug kit.
If you ever get a flat and it is in the tread area of the tire you can simply remove the object and put a plug into the tire and then fill it with air and your on your way.
The tirefit kit uses a fix a flat sealer which ultimately ruins the tire
in the long run.
