Advice please... My wife got a puncture the other day and discovered there's no spare in the boot. TyreWeld rubbish lasted a whole 1.6 miles before the tyre was as flat as before, so I want to get a proper spare.
- Full or skinny tyre? Obviously full handles better, but is it worth carrying the extra weight in the boot for months, only to use it for two days while I'm waiting for the replacement tyre?
- If skinny, what size do I need? Will any 16" work, or do I need to get a specific width/height? Also, what's a good make? I've found RoadHero, K.O.M and no-name stuff so far.
- If full, do I need to get alloys like the proper wheels or can I get a steel rim? I believe the wheel nuts are different - does this mean I just need different nuts for the spare or are the bolts different too?
