To be honest I think I'd use the tyre foam I've got in my tool kit rather than faff with the spare, either way you are limited to about 50mph so why get all dirty and do the "front to rear replace with space saver" (
) routine??

Is the tyre ruined after using the foam stuff ???

You can't always use the foam stuff though can you, depending on the extent of the damage.... I was just wondering really, after reading the section in the manual that deals with how to fit the damage wheel in the boot... (well looking at the pictures actually since my manual is in Japanese
)

TJ, if I'd managed to shred the tyre I'd be a bit worried about what the rest of the car would look like

I complained to Pirelli. They said they could find no evidence of a fault and more-or-less told me to go away in short jerky movements - told me I must have been running the tyre severely under-inflated. Yeah, like I'm a stunt driver - driving a 230 bhp car with lowered sports suspension at speed round Welsh twisties with 3 tyres at regular pressure and my o/s rear tyre at SFA.
**cking Pirelli!
- Still their calendars are nice

Might have to do it!
