So after a disastrous attempt at changing my wheel I've decided to get rid of the spare and go with the foam, was wandering if someone could tell me what size foam can I need and what else
comes with the car instead of a spare wheel, I've found the liner in ebay just want to replace everything that should come with the car.

I think this is the correct liner


Thanks

Looks like it's the correct one there's a few in the scrap yard I go to... But I hope you remember that once you have used the foam most garages refuse to fix the tyres as its such a mess and you will have to buy a new tyre.... That's why I have a spare 19"Alloy in the car at all times...

Just for a balanced argument. I've not had a spare in my last 3 cars.
A 508 GT, RCZ and my current GT86.
I've never had a puncture in over 20 years of driving. I guess I must be lucky.

My Rover had a slow puncture due to a corroded alloy wheel, but I'm not counting that, as it took well over a week to deflate.

You have been very lucky not to have had a punchure but it can happen to anyone at any time if we knew what we were never going to get one best get a lottery ticket...

I also have never had a puncture since my 1st car in 1978 but I always used to have the piece of mind of having a spare. Since buying my wife's C4 and the RCZ this is the 1st time I have been aware that if I do have a puncture, there is no spare to fall back on, meaning new tyres would have to be purchased if I used the "Gunk". Money saving by the manufacturers means more expense for the consumer.

This is the 1st puncture I've had in 4 years, I'll use the water based tyre gunk if I get another puncture then I'll go to my mates garage if he won't clean out the tyre I will and then get him to repair it.
