spare wheel help

[carrmrc96]

Ive a got ph2 172 and was thinking of removing me spare wheel to reduce the weight of my car and buy a can of that tyre weld stuff. is this legal or do you have to have a spare wheel?

its not illegal to not have a tyre in the well , though if you had a bald tyre there you could get points and fines ...

so lose that weight

clio 172 cup dont have spare tyres as such , we have the tyre foam stuff

DONT GET THAT TYRE WELD SH*T!
Work at rubbish halfords and we have a guy that used to work as a rep. If you use that stuff it can bind to the wheel and next time you change the tyre it can lead to the whole wheel being changed, ok if you have steels but on alloys can be costly. . .
