Interesting article in Dec Excellence
re the space saving spare tires in various P-cars. Many in our Boxsters are 10+ years old...some 25+ for other models. Many aren't made any more. Many not designed for the tire only to be replaced. Some designed not to deteriorate like normal tires with age. Replacements horribly expensive...for a 996 $500 or so but how old are they?
If you ever have to use one, remember they are mileage and speed limited. Every time I get passed at 70 by someone running on one I just try and get out of their way.
How long since you checked your spare's tire pressure and examined its condition?
