Re: 997 Turbo Spare Wheel
I didn`t think any of them had a spare, or 4S`s which I have. Just thought they were not fitted due to the lack of space ?

Re: 997 Turbo Spare Wheel
There is no spare, make sure you have a bottle of tyre repair liquid. Amazing stuff, a friend had a puncture on one of our trips in his 997TT. A gash in the side wall, we all thought no chance but it held and got them to Koblenz for a new tyre.

Re: 997 Turbo Spare Wheel
A friend in a 997 does have a spare collapsible wheel that I think he carried over from his 996.
He has to carry it in the rear seat when he goes on holidays!!
and I'm not aware if he's ever had to use it ever.
I'm also not aware if it will fit the Turbo either with the larger brakes?
A few of us have invested in the silverline tyre repair kit http://www.silverlinetools.com/en-GB/Pr ... eel/380421 which a 991 owner used to get from Switzerland back home! where he replaced the tyre.
As Sean mentioned the gunk can work on smaller punctures and splits, however the silverline is a good option if you are looking at a larger hole from a bolt etc..
It also saves the mess from the gunk
