[GH85Carrera]

My wife's Porsche Macan has a full size spare, but it is not exactly a "sports car" just a sporty SUV.

My 911 (a GT car not a true sports car) of course has the collapsible spare. I have contemplated removing it but I leave it in place to help with weight distribution and for additional front end crash protection. To me a true sports car is like the Cobra, nothing that does not make the car go faster or stop faster is available. My 914 was a pure sports car, no AC.

If I have a flat in a rear tire I am supposed to jack the car up, put the front tire on the rear, and the spare on the front. Then I have a 255-17-40 dirty tire to put somewhere.

I do carry an air pump, and a tire plug kit and fix a flat. So far in all my travels I have been lucky and had no flats. For your Cobra I would for sure look at putting the spare on the wall as decoration, getting a set of tire plugs and fix a flat. I ended up with a tire plug kit for motorcycles that uses a cone shaped plug and was rated very high in the tests back when I got it. I may replace it, just because it is at least 8 years old. The tire pump I do test on occasion. The Fix a flat is at least 15 years old and I may replace it as well. Of course the cell phone and tow truck are always an option.

Oh, I also carry a set of disposable tyvek painters overalls and some rubber gloves.
