Hi everyone, I was just wondering what everybody does in regards to carrying a spare wheel?

I currently carry a full-size wheel I managed to pick up cheap, its exactly the same as what's already on the car. But as we know, it's awkward trying to carry any sort of spare when there is no place to put it.

How and where is everyone keeping their spares to look tidy and not take up almost the whole boot?

Thanks.

When I binned my run flats, I purchased a tyre repair kit off Amazon. It's the sort where you pull out the screw or whatever you've run over and file the hole before plunging some rubber string into the hole to seal it up. I already had a tyre compressor. Hopefully I'll never have to use it!

I carry a couple of cans of the tyre inflation foam etc that help to inflate and line the tyre to seal up the leak. Only good for smaller holes etc but if I get a proper blowout I'd just call up roadside assistance to get a new tyre on and take the hit on price.

I have 2 cans of tyre foam, tyre plugs, a compressor, a 17" space saver and breakdown cover, all bases covered LOL
