Life is funy. 997/987/Cayman owners complain that there is no spare, and some of them have even purchased one.
Years ago Porsche issued an advisory that the spare was part of the crash protection.
Just recently on Rennlist a 997 owner hit something that cut the sidewall. He put the goop in and it just came out because the hole was too large. Then there was the delay of finding a replacement tire.
In the 8 years of I have owned by 986 I have had 3 "flats." Nails in the tire and a cut valve stem. Did not have to use the spare, but I'm keeping mine in the car.
