Carrry a tube! A tyre can split - like a knife cut, you cannot 'patch' it well enough .. but you can put a Tee shirt, bit of plastic over the cut (inside the tyre, ensure teh edges are smooth where teh tube contacts this extra reinforcing) and then put a tube in the tyre and ride out. The tube will also 'reseat' a tyre ... no fast high volume required. It is a fail safe measure to carry a tube with tubless tyres.
