No spare tire, now what?
 
Hi, everyone, the newer model does not have spare tire, what do you do when you have a flat? Can the tire be repair with the kid that comes with the car? I know that is a temporary fix, but after that, can the tire be fix at the shop and use again. Anyone has a story to share?

There is a can of fix a flat that will plug any small holes and get you to a tire shop where it can be repaired properly.

Thanks Doc, I know about the can. Since Porsche tires are rated for high speed, the tire repair shop will be the judge totell me ifthe tire is safe to use after repair, am I right? Someone told me our tire cannot be repair becasuse of the rating, is that true? Please advice.

For street driving, you can plug the tire just fine (I'll edit that by saying for normal street driving. If you plan on running the car 150mph down the road, then I would advise against using a plugged tire). I would not put a plugged tire on the track though.
