Tyres - should I replace after using sealant?

Is it worth buying a tyre sealant canister in order not to have to change a wheel with a flat tyre?

If so, can that tyre be used for the rest of its useful life?

Once resealed in this way the tyre normally has to be replaced.

My Jaguar XF doesn't have a spare wheel. I would like to buy a 'get you home spare wheel' and jack to go with it. I'm having problems finding one at the right price. Any suggestions, please?
