Do you keep your spare wheel in your car/under your car (depending on model) or have you ditched it?
Just wondering, as I saw some tyre weld in Halfords today, and wondered if anyone had replaced their spare with something similar?

Keep it, you never know when you might need it, its only going to save a few kilos if you do ditch it

my sister hit a curb yesterday and blew out a wheel and dented the rim, i dont think tyre weld will help with that. id keep it becuase the day you get rid of it is the day youl need it.

Might as well keep it if you have one it's not like it gets in the way of anything either

I didn't mean towards you personally, but if anyone had one I don't see the logic in getting rid of it purposely

I took mine off when I had the 206. A can of tyre weld in the car and AA membership. Never had any issues.

I tend to have a spare Vortex in the boot, unless I plan on using the boot.... Then it's fingers crossed time. Not really a big fan of tyre weld that the 180 comes with.
