911 / 996 Spare tire
I have a 1999 911 cabriolet (109,000 miles) and had the unfortunate circumstance to have a flat on the road. Changed out to the spare which quickly shredded into pieces! It was probably the 1st time used and it was original meaning 20 years old, no wonder! Anyhow the rim is perfect and all I need is a spare tire...…….which is impossible to find. It appears to be only sold as a set (rim & tire). Is there a supplier that makes this spare? Thanks Bob

Continental makes a 115/95r17 that is pretty close.
Personally I'd just buy a used one. 20 years isn't that old for rubber that lives a sheltered life. Theres a very good chance that if you buy a new one from porsche it will be about 20 years old. Maintaining pressure is vital for it to work when you need it. Plan on adding air at least yearly |
