A member with a 997 tt had a flat and Porsche did not recommend driving the car with a spare tire, since the mismatched tires could break the AWD system.

If that is true, why are all 996 tt's and C4's equipped with a spare tire? Are we at risk if we drive a short distance (say 100 miles) on our spare?

 

if you put your spare on, where would you put your actual tire? it wont fit anywhere lol.

 

Front passenger seat. Don't ask me how I know...

 

I took mine out along with the compressor, the jack and all the tools. I figure my roadside assistance can tow me to wherever I need to go.

 

Ugh... At that point, I'll just have it flat bedded.

 

Funny....997TT don't even come with spares...just a can of fix-a-flat...Bob got a flat on our last ride....that is how we found out. You are OK with the spare for short amount of miles...I would probably flat-bed in any case.

 

Psare, compressor and tolls wer ethe first to go. flatbed if I have any problems.
