Do you normally drive with the spare wheel or not ?

Thanks - did that come with your car? I bet there are part numbers all over those bits.

We have some good friends whose family is from Guate - going to dinner with them tonight in fact. We went to their wedding a few years ago in Antigua (Casa Santo Domingo) and then tagged along with them to Tikal and Panajachel - so everyone who came from the US sort of crashed their honeymoon. It was a blast.

What spare wheel... 997.2 doesn't come with one.


For the Guatemalan 997's... do the 4's come with the spare up front too? How do they fit them in that tiny space?

Yes, car came with it and strange that U.S. cars don't come equipped with the spare wheel

Guatemala is a beatiful country and places like Antigua, Panajachel and Tikal are excellent for tourism ! Did you go to the market in Chichicastenango ?

Mine is precisely a C4S -- All 911's here, even Caymans, come with such spare wheel

Sorry dude. That box of 'Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing' that I bought years ago really pays off.

Dang Carfan...thanks for bringing this to our attention. Never knew about a spare tire kit for the 997.2. Interesting.

However with my luck I'd blow a rear tire and get it off and the spare mounted and not be able to fit the raer in the car.

Does a jack kit come along with the spare too?
