If spare is such important to you, why don't you just get runflat? :P

There was some good recommendations on Renntech.com , IIRC you can use a 911 spare also? From what I've heard, run-flats ride and perform poorly. The only disadvantage of adding a spare is obviously the loss of 1/2 your trunk space. I've just decided to add a tire plug/inflator kit. When I replace the tires, I'll add an aftermarket TPMS.

I agonized over this when I bought my 987. I've never owned a car that didn't have a spare and especially a $58K car. Then it hit me - it's been 30 yrs since I've had a flat tire / blowout. Doesn't mean I can't have one tomorrow, but tires are pretty good these days. I sleep just fine without having a spare.
