RRE Spare wheel - XFullFatTim - 25-03-2011 07:15pm
or rather lack of one!
On the spec sheet the STEEL spare is a £100 optional extra. Standard issue is a "tyre repair system" which I assume is an aerosol of quick setting foam.
If the car is designed only to have the TRS then I wonder where you stow your steel spare if you opt for it? That's the reason I have gone for the TPMS option, if I get a puncture I want to know about it ASAP so I don't do much damage to the tyre so it can be "blown" back up easily with the foam kit

I haven't carried a spare in any of my vehicles for 21 years now. I've had the odd puncture via a nail. The trick is not to remove it as the foam will seal around it. Then I get a tyre shop to pull the nail and plug it.
