Garage
The flat tire issue is a concern for all widebody 911s with over-sized wheels/tires.
There are multiple problems:
- When the tire is flat I cannot get a jack under the car, even in the garage.
- If I can get the spare on, the car should not be driven far with such a mis match.
- The flat tire and rim will not fit in my cockpit and I sure ain't leavin' it behind.
- No tire store will carry my rear size in stock (which is your front).

I carry a tire repair kit and a foot pump and pray for no sidewall damage.

Not to be gloom and doom but nothing prepared me for this at 80mph:
