No Spare Tyre

[Maydup]

I've changed my car and now have one that offers no spare tyre; just a bottle of stuff to squirt in the valve if I need it.

I know this is quite common now but having hit a random object on a motorway recently (in my old car) which resulted in a serious puncture, I was really glad of a space-saving spare wheel.

I might buy one for peace of mind or am I just being old fashioned? What do others think about this trend away from spare wheels.

Paul, I assume your car has a well that can accommodate a full size spare wheel. That is a rarity with new cars
