I have a space-saver spare in the V40, but for long trips I have a full-size spare. Since there are only the two of us now, I can fold the rear seats and there's plenty of space for it. |

Spare Wheel Sizing etc
Thanks folks for the feedback. I did use the tempa spare on my previous S60 (unfortunately gone to that great Volvo garage in the sky recently!) sticking to the recommendations etc., and it was fine.
When I bought my V40 a couple of weeks ago we had long negotiations with the dealer about spares and eventualy it went in as part of the deal. One of the things that put me off an S60 was the lack of even a wheel well for a spare - at least the V40 has that facility! |

http://indianautosblog.com/wp-conten...n-the-boot.jpg I believe that MB Australia was also running into resistance because of the lack of a spare - how many country garages are going to stock these run-flat tyres? |

I only need a spare wheel when I'm driving long distances (London -> Glasgow) or down into the deep dark rural South West. The rest of the time, it sits in my garage - and my boot space isn't impinged at all. If I had a full car, it would be a bit more problematic, but I rarely have more than two, or at a push three - so still plenty of space. That said, I'd love a boot which had room for a spare wheel and was still a good decent sized boot! |
