Q about spare wheel

[zulu705]

I know neither the 172 or 182 come with a spare wheel as standard but do they have the space in the boot tray for one? Ive looked at a 172 cup and it had the space but does a 182?

182 doesnt have the wheel well for a spare

 

[zulu705]

Thanks for the infor brian182

spare wheel well done away with in the 182 for the twin exhausts afaik mate.

 

[edde]

The 182s twin exhaust pipes use the area where the wheel well would normally be.

You can just stick a spare in the boot if you want.

Whats wrong with the tyre foam can?

 

[Da]

tyre foam can wouldnt be much use in a blow out mate, although should be fine for punctures.

What about one of those space saving spare wheel things, better than nothing which is what I have at the moment. Where do you get them from and does having 17" wheels cause probs in getting one of them??

Thanks,


Mike.

My 172 has a spare alloy wheel as standard. Its a mk2.

 

[Storm_Force]

as above

 

[mike]

Mines a MK2 also but has 17" Speedlines and so the previous owner got rid of the spare. This is why Im thinking of getting a space saving spare but dont know where to look??

Oh and the free AA cover you get when u buy a new 182 doesnt cover tyres

but if you pay and extra £50 quid you get the full package for the 3 years or other. including tyres and petrol

just strap another wheel in your boot, rally style!!!

put a spare wheel c/w new tyre in the boot yesterday. It fits nice & snug & the cargo net holds it down. Got to be better than tyre weld & I am off to Germany in 2 wks so am happier with a spare in the boot
