All,

First off everyone on here f'n rocks! I have learned a ton about my 996tt with this site.

Anyway, I have a question for those running the well known 235/315-19" set ups:

When you get a flat, do you use the spare? If so, what's the safest distance driving it and at what speed?

OR

Should I just carry sa couple fix-a-flats and dispose of the spare (and accoutrements) and save some lbs ?

Opinions/expertise/experience please...

Well I have not had a flat, but I would just get the car flat-bed myself. As for removing the weight...the problem is the weight you remove is low in the front...where you need to remove weight is in the rear IMHO. So I keep the inflatable spare in the front (for weight distribution), but would never use it...I' can't wait to hear others opinions.

Also, reading from a post about spares(https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...-tire-c4s.html), there is a Porsche option for a spare that is 185/60/17 that is available (de-flated)...so I plugged the specs in the tire calculator and found this...Diameter Difference: 1.05%

Has anyone tried this?

 

I took all that stuff out and added the roadside number in my address book on my cell.

 

Flatbed!

 

What others have said... flatbed....

 

After using the spare twice. My answer now is flatbed.
