Steel space saver

Post by Chungster »

Right after watching watchdog last night I've just ordered an 18" steel space saver for the R.

Can anyone with a MY2011/12/13 Rocco R tell me the tyre size needed for this wheel please as I'll need to order one!

Cheers

Just to add mines a 2010 model so came with puncture repair kit

They changed in MY11 to steel space saver wheel so they obviously knew it was a poor solution anyway!

My missus doesn't have any choice with her Mini Convertible - unless she's prepared to have a spare on the back seat all the time..

They said last night only VW Polo's and Golf's came with proper space saver spare tyres. So many manufacturers use the sealant kit now

The thing is tyre fitters won't want to repair a tyre that has had the sealant applied as it takes a bit of elbow grease to remove! So you are forced to buy a new tyre when if you used a spare tyre, the punctured one coud be repaired at much cheaper cost!

There appears to be no spare wheel specified as a spacesaver. :? Nor for 2007 or 2009.

are the current for latest Polo.

There's a 16 inch for use on the smaller wheeled Golfs.

Yes, I thought it was telling me that, but I thought you may have a problem with the full wheel/tyre due to depth of the spare wheel well. Then you run into the hump in the boot carpet problem and they may not make one. The late Corrado's and later Mk2 Sciroccos couldn't fit a full wheel combo, nor was a humped carpet available plus it takes up silly space which means things cannot lie flat in the boot.

It's on a 4 stud rim. Her car is 5 stud.

We think the dealer she bought it from just threw an eBay jobbie in there from a 6N Polo, and despite her having lots of reservations about it I never did check it out properly. :shake:

So when her work peeps tried to change her flat tyre the other day they told her damn spare is 4 stud!!!!!

But the 5 stud version will get picked up from TPS tomorrow. I just need to check the tyre on the 4 stud wheel to see if it's same size in 165/70 R14 spec so we can put it on the new spare wheel. :D
