HELP PLEASE - BURST TYRE

Anyone living in the London area know where I can get a rear tyre replaced 24 hrs?

Tyre is a 295 30 ZR 19 N1.

All help gratefully received, as I just went over a metal spike and burst it - luckily in my garage! Now I understand all of you who complained at the lack of a spare!!!!

Thanks for any suggestions

Sorry to hear that. Excuse me stating the obvious but have you tried your dealer?

Try Porsche assistance, they surely would be bound to help you if you were in the street when it happened

Re: HELP PLEASE - BURST TYRE

thanks guys - Porsche Assistance have taken the car away to my local dealer but were totally useless and unable to help with a replacement. Contrast that to my friend's mini which also comes with no spare and has a 24 hour nationwide replacement service - and all that on a car for Pounds10k!!!

Re: HELP PLEASE - BURST TYRE

Sorry, I saw this thread too late. When my Boxster had a flat last Tursday evening, Porsche assistance towed it to a London OPC of my choice (West London Porsche) and they replaced the tire first thing next morning. By 9am I was out the door with a new tire. The OPC prices are not exactly cheap (322 GBP incl. VAT, for a Michelin 265, 19" tire) but the service was as good as can be.
