Asked by Warren Charlton
In the Q&A section there was a query from a reader trying to find a car with a traditional spare. I'm on my third Nissan Patrol in 31 years and recall my last flat tyre was at least 18 years ago so I have been carrying a complete spare, and often a spare casing, for nothing other than peace of mind. Before going out on rougher than normal roads I always ensure the rubber is in good condition and pressures are correct for the surface being encountered. I realise that cars with lower profiles may suffer more problems, like the late-model Ford Territory on the Birdsville Track last year that had one tyre ruined, while another was punctured.
