Hello, needing a compact spare for my 914 six with flares. Currently, I’m running 15 inch wheels but I think in a pinch this could work. I think my rears are 225/ 60 17. Front 195 65 15 Pirelli cn36.
See pictures for rim and Tire six. To get me out of the boonies and back to civilization do you think this wheel would work? Very reasonably priced under 100 bucks and basically new.   |

Clay already said it, but I'll say it again anyway.
None of the space saver tires are road worthy at this point. I don't know of anyone who is reproducing them. If you have it in your car for Concourse - fine. But if you have it in the car with the intent of using it if you ever get a flat, you would be better off with a can of Fix-a-flat or dealing with a full size spare. If you can even get it to inflate, you are still going to be driving on an ancient tire that has no business on the road. Zach |
