If'n you don't have a spare wheel then AXA assist break-down cover on your insurance policy is a must at a Nifty a year.

And keep a spare wheel or a space saver at home in case the break-down van needs to lift you home fer a full blow-out, prob pick one up fer a Nifty from a scrap yard. Nothing worse than being all Suited and Booted fer a nights work only to get a full blow-out at 10pm leaving you with nothing to do fer the night and the Offie closed !

As an old base controller in Blue Cabs once remarked... I wouldn't take a kids pram out without a spare!

[mercenary for hire]

I still haven't had a puncture in the new jammer in 32000km.I'm guessing it's the better quality tyres on the new car.I don't bring a spare meself just the plug kit.I've never had a blowout yet in any car or motorbike.Dunno how that happens.

Now I'll have a disaster of a year after posting that..

A pothole in the pissing rain is all it takes to do the inside wall. Hasn't happened to me (other than a bubble that you wouldn't notice 'till you or NCTS look for it) in over 30 years though... but, like yourself, I wouldn't be the hardest worker in the world by any means. I actually had a bit of luck with the NCTS this year. The inspector passed the motor and told me to have a look at the front left tyre which he suggested was wearing on the inside... when I looked (albeit a few weeks later) I discovered a bubble.

If I had a car without accommodation for a spare I'd definitely keep one at home though, as Ken suggests. In fact I have a spare spare in my shed that came with the MKII Octy... it's actually the wrong rim for both cars (the rim hole is too large) which is why it was replaced when I bought it, the dealer just didn't want it back... but it would do in an emergency as all the bolt holes line up!.

So, you have two spare tyres? That could be an incentive for the New years resolutions.
