Spare Wheel Well?

[Donna]

Thank you Dreadly ST for your advice.

The whole wheel thing is an issue because I live in a rural area and travel a highway to and from work often late at night. Don't want to get stuck having to do 80 kms going to and from work at 10 pm (round trip is 90 plus kms to work and back).

I believe a 15 inch steel with a tyre to make up some of the difference and placed on a rear wheel will allow travel at 100 kms to give me time to have punctured one repaired (and will fit in wheel well). I don't understand why manufacturers cannot provide better options. Not everyone lives 5 mins from a repairer.

You are right about the punctures. Have had only 2 in 10 years. Now I no longer live in the city the thought of a puncture at midnight on the highway in a rural area is a worrying one. Belt and braces approach.

Cheers
