    Friend of mine had an Audi TT 2 seater, and upon getting a flat had to put the space saver on and drive home with the full size wheel on the passenger seat. Seems to be a pretty common thing, but you don't hear about it much because big punctures aren't very common these days


    Is a big puncture different to a medium size puncture?


    if all you have in the boot is a space saver you would have to put it on regardless what size the puncture is unless you want to ruin the tyre by driving on a flat

    ginashamz seemingly just bought 4 spacesavers for his rx8, once he realises they don't fit and / or make his 'rx8' even less grippy, you could buy them off him and start up with them, cash back!
