Hi there, Thankyou for taking the time to read my question, it is not the usual one, I have had a price for 450gbp for a new emergency wheel and tyre, my question is..... does anyone know where I can buy a tyre only for it? My wheel is immaculate but Porsche do not sell the collapsable tyres on their own, firstly this is a whole lot of cash for a tyre and secondly I would have to throw the wheel away (what a waste)! My tyre is starting to deteriorate so I guess that someone else with a car older than mine must be having the same issue. Your help would be greatly appreciated Kind regards chris
P.s I cant find anyone selling an 18" second hand one either!

Not really an answer to your question, but why not dump the spacesaver and buy a tin of puncture sealant and a compressor instead ? Much cheaper and I think the newer Porsches now have that as standard.

Hi Chris at the chance of sounding like I am teaching you to suck eggs as you probably have already, but have you tried searching eBay. I have noticed they have lot of spares on the site and if type in "Porsche breaking" it brings up all the cars that are being broken for spares, there maybe what you need available there. Sorry if youhave done this already and it hasn't helped regards gez.

they aren't expensive to be honest all the breakers have loads of them try neil at prestige salvage in leeds.

I don't think normal tyre fitters can fit space saver tyres, I don't know why.
