Hello, I have a 2019 Panda 4x4 with 175/65 r15 tyres. Following a puncture, I've decided to get a spare wheel.
Looking at the manual, I think I need a 125/80 r15, is that right?
I found some useful posts on here but they are a few years old, so I wanted to check they still apply to a 2019 model?
For example one post said that the 4x4 and cross require a 15 inch space saver due to larger brake discs.
I also read a lot of posts saying spacesavers were not good for braking, handling, etc. Can you fit a standard tyre into the well in the boot? I found a post that suggested for other models you can but not for the larger wheels of the 4x4. Does this mean I will have to have a space saver?
What jack do you use, and how high must it extend? I read some posts saying certain jacks won't lift the 4x4 high enough because the car already is quite high off the road.
A trolley jack would use up most of the boot space. Has anyone found a good bottle jack or is it best to go with a scissor jack?
Thanks
