I was going to check the pressure in my newly purchased 2012 TT's spare tire, only to find there isn't one. I thought my wife's SLK was stupid because it had a collapsible spare and a plug in compressor to inflate it. Now that idea is beginning to make a bit of sense after me finding NO spare at all.
What are you guys doing to solve the missing spare issue?Buying a stamped metal wheel and fitting a tire to it? If you do that, where do you get the center hold down bolt that would hold the spare securely to the floor of the car?
Or does that can of stuff really work at least temporarily, until you get a proper fix?
Have to say I am disappointed, had I known that the car came with no spare, I doubt I'd have bought it. I'm all for saving weight and all that but this is utterly stupid imho.
Cheers,
