Space saving spare wheel

FUNKYDADDIO

Hi, unfortunately I was caught out with a puncture last week, only to realise I had the glue rather than a spare wheel. I'm now in the market for a space saving wheel set. Could anyone recommend anywhere local, Belfast based, to buy one please? Many thanks

Thanks, there are several on eBay but I am dubious about the quality of some of them. Was looking to go and see one before buying. Cheers again

Try Kwikfit or Halfords

We bought a brand new spare wheel, jack etc from our Volvo dealer for around £250... not worth taking a chance on one you can't be sure of the quality of in my opinion and a good investment given how rubbish the "foam fixer" is. My husband had this used on our car in a car park at an event he was attending and was told it'd be fine to drive home later at no more than 50mph. 2 hours later at 11pm it was flat as a pancake... another breakdown callout, another 1.5 hour wait and a tow home on a lorry... followed by another tow to the dealership next morning!

No offence OP but you should have been aware of that what you had to fix the tyre. It also means that even if you had a spare wheel you would not have known if it was inflated/punctured etc.
