AdamC11 Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Hi Guys, Why is there no spare wheel in the car when you have bought it? What happens if you have a blow out? Rather confused. Thought ALL cars came with spare wheels? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought ALL cars came with spare wheels? Cheers Nope. I personally think Ford have done this to save weight, all you get now is a bottle of gunk and a pump! Might work for nail holes, but no good if you slash your tyre on a lump of stone in the side of the road. Not sure whether it's true or not, but I have been told that if you use the gunk you will have to replace the tyre anyway as it eats into the rubber.

Mark M.K Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Tyre "gunk" does wreck the tyre, that is true. The sealent is only desgined for a quick repair so you can get to a garage to replace it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
