Spare Tyre Option - Worth getting?

Featured Replies

Should've kept my great big mouth shut :D:D

It took just 3 days...

Came out of work last night, quick visual of all 4 tyres as usual, rear off-side just about totally flat!

Have I changed my mind though? :no: NO! :no:

Following the instructions only to use the gunk as a last resort if all else fails, I attached the wonderful compressor supplied and reinflated the tyre to 3 bar. Took 3-4 minutes. Waited for 5 or so minutes to be sure it wasn't going to deflate quickly. Drove 3 miles to nearest town at 40mph with window open to hear any sign of deflation. Arrived at tyre depot with tyre still looking OK. Wheel off; offending piece of hacksaw blade removed from outer tread, puncture fixed and on my way home.

Total cost - about 40 minutes and a tenner.

You should buy a lottery ticket each week. I think you'll only need one.
