In the UK, the TTC has a space saver wheel - still not brilliant, but it's difficult to store a full size wheel in the size of car we have. So I wouldn't worry too much - just make sure you know how to use the spray ... or sort out a recovery service. Good TT'ing -- Moley TTOC Member www.tt-quattro.com www.ttoc.co.uk www.tt-forum.co.uk |

Not sure about the TT, but in the UK the A3 now comes with the spray/compressor as standard, with the space-saver wheel as a no-cost option. I'd imagine the TT has a space for a space-saver wheel where the spray/compressor is atm? If so then I'd seriously consider buying one. The two problems with the spray/compressor solution are: 1. It doesn't help if you have a major blow-out. 2. If you have a simple puncture, such as a nail, then using the spray will wreck the tyre and you'll need a new one rather than a simple repair. -- Toby |
