Picking Up My Spare!
Thank heaven's for the back "seats," huh? Now I understand the excitement over the Carrera hatchback possibility

Hey, I've been "search"ing all over to find that thread. I can't find it. What/how did you do/order to get a spare and jack? Thanks in advance.

Have you checked to see if you can put a rear wheel and tire behind your seat when it's flat???

I guess I'm hoping the TPMS will keep me out of trouble in my soon to arrive '06 997S.
In two years I've picked up 3 nails in my '03 996 but have yet to have an actual flat. I always seem to get lucky, knock on wood, and notice that a tire is low. At which point I head straight for my local tire repair shop. In fact, it's the same with all of our cars, when I notice a low tire I have it repaired straight away.
However, there's no doubt that I'm dreading the proverbial 4 hour wait in the night on the side of the road for Porsche roadside assistance or AAA. But I need my trunk space for roadtrips and trips to the grocery store.
Save me TPMS, save me!

Yes. I checked that on the second day I owned the car. After doing everything possible with advancing the adaptive sport seats, the rear tire does in fact slip back there without any scuffing of seatback or door frame. It's a real tribute to Porsche "engineering" because there is about 1 millimeter to spare

MMD,
How secure is your spare- will it move a lot and possibly dent your trunk during an emergency stop?
