A flat tire will fit in the back shelf of my Cayman while using a small bungee cord to keep the rear trunk lid partially closed.
Ask me how I know this.
But seriously, I have experienced several punctures over the years just driving on roads in the DFW Metroplex. Never anything serious; I always drove home. I also subscribe to AAA with a 200 mile tow range.
But I would like to take some road trips into the wild frontier, i.e. through areas that don't have shops that normally stock 265/40-18 tires.
The stock 986 spare seems to be the solution. And the 987 owners have also become aware of this. Finding a decent one at a reasonable price is becoming more difficult.
Just sayin'...........
