I have 205/45/16 tyres do you think one of those will fit under the blind?

Just realized my missus hasn't got any of the aerosol, will have to give her a can of tyre weld.

I prefer this to the space saver option.

Despite the efforts of the engineers that say that a smaller diameter wheel will be OK, I am a lot more comfortable with an additional full size spare wheel, just to be on the safe side.

If you use a steel space saver wheel, you need the correct wheel nuts for steel wheels.
With a full size alloy wheel, you can use the original wheel nuts :) .

I had to use a space-saver on the Alfa. Front drivers side. It scraped on the lovely French roads fron Gite to tyre repair shop.

Next time it goes on rear and good full-size rear goes on front. Two changes but much less fraught!
