What are your thoughts about the lack of a spare on the A500? Personally I prefer to have a proper spare rather than the inflation/repair kit for a couple of reasons.
Firstly, it will only work with punctures rather than a blowout and secondly, I have heard that once you use the goo (for lack of a better word) it might be impossible to then get the puncture repaired, meaning a new tyre is required.
Even a POP 14" steelie would be a better option (or a skinny) although if the puncture was on the front you would need to put first swap a full size wheel/tyre from the rear and then put the spare on the rear.
Does anyone already use something similar or does anyone know what is the maximum size wheel/tyre combo that would fit in the spare wheel well?
Of course you would also need to add a jack to the equation and with the lower sills on the A500 plus being lower overall cos of the flat, would you be able to get a jack under the car even?
Your thoughts would be appreciated.
