So I'm driving down the road with a spare on my left rear, (an older Michelin) and the tire separated, blew apart and bent my left rear fender up pretty good. But I survived, didn't crash and the car

A couple of thoughts - have you tried putting any of your other tyres in the boot? Are they all Vredesteins? If they are all the same tyre, I would recommend getting the standard Dunlop ply tyre for

I had the same problem and I will fit a 155x15 Vredestein as spare while I have 185's on the car The other solution is to keep the 165 without air and have a small air compressor on the car as Porsch

That is odd as I have 165 x 15 Vredestein Sprint series tires on all 4 corners and in the boot of our recently acquired early BN1 and it fits fine. (see pictures) One thing I always do is to cut the

VW tires will fit in the spare tire opening They are a little small for the car but how often do you need your spare tire. Hopefully never. Also this a reminder to check the dates on all your tires.

Well, FWIW, I recently bought a new car. It doesn't have any spare wheel at all. Instead it has a little compressor. I have adopted the same principle on the Healey, bought a little compressor and u

Per, I hope you not only got a compressor but also a pressurized can with a kind of liquid rubber which you are expected to blow into your flat tire. That works only sometimes, not always. If your ti

I've gone the same route - with just a bit more security. Besides the compressor, I also carry a bottle of "Slime" (a thick liquid that will plug a leaking tire, at least temporarily). Another though

If you have inner tubes the slime will make them unusable after its use. Its a toss up I guess. Repair the old tube with a nail hole or buy a new one because the slime ruined it. Maybe if you carried
