Sold car because it didnt have full size spare

Asked by William Goetz

Talking about spare tyres, I owned a Mitsubishi Outlander V6 4WD that we loved but sold because it did not have a full-size spare. We got a Mitsubishi Pajero with a full-size spare wheel. In my experience of travelling off-road regularly, anyone planning to do so needs to think very carefully about the spares. Most flat tyres off-road have a split sidewall and no repair kit can fix that. Your car club or assistance provider will not be able to bring you a new tyre and fix it to your rim if that happens to have escaped damage. Further, your full-size punctured wheel will not fit into the well for your space-saver. Imagine that with three kids on holiday full with luggage.

You're absolutely right, which is why people need to assess their needs on the spare-wheel side of things.
