Nice job Richard. I've been using a 17" Boxster spare wheel in my 997 for 7 years. Only located with a short bungy. This is not a problem because the wheel can't move forward without being resisted by the bonnet cross bracing.

Apparently they can be repaired (according to my tyre man) but only if someone is willing to clean them thoroughly, which most tyre installers can't be bothered to do.ORIGINAL: Richard Hamilton Tyres which have been foamed can't be repaired (but that sparks another debate!).
Great..! I presume that the asthmatic inflator is up to the mark to do this - I wouldn't want to have to rely upon a foot pump! Getting it deflated to it's original diameter afterwards might prove challenging too. JeffORIGINAL: Richard Hamilton If you haven't seen a collapsible tyre inflate, there is a video here, albeit an older Porsche one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atEHN9tX77g
But it is offered as a cost option. (I447). On balance, I think I would prefer to have one, than not. Just my 2p's worth.ORIGINAL: Buddy Like most I sometimes think a spare would be at least an insurance should a puncture occur but that raises the question since some insurers now want to be told if we change to winter tyres is use of a space saver ok since the 9*7's don't come with one?
