Tyreweld is great stuff, used it a few times over the years its easy, quick and works well. Cheers

My spare is 19 years old. I am not a fan of disposable spare wheels when to replace the tyre on them will cost you more than if you were to buy a full size wheel and tyre, and you're not limited to 50mph/50 miles range.

I do agree with you entirely, as with most motoring subjects there are arguments for and against a spare wheel, they can get you out of trouble, however on most roads such as motorways and busy A roads, it simply isn’t safe to change the wheel, plus not everyone is physically capable of such a task, also most breakdowns are caused by other factors, such as battery or mechanical issues, and no one carries a spare ECU, engine, exhaust or windscreen, plus the weight saving does actually improve mpg, paying £200 plus for something which may never be used is a matter of choice, I make sure my roadside recovery is current and in order.

My spare tyre saved me two times.

The only time I’ve actually had a puncture in 3 years and 20000 miles of driving, tyreweld would have been no use. At least the spare saved having to wait for the AA. The question is: how often are you going to get a puncture that the can won’t fix? The consensus on motoring websites seems to be that a spare is essential. In practice, I don’t think there’s a ‘one size fits all’ answer. It’s all about trade-offs - more boot space vs more inconvenience and how frequently it might happen.

I think it depends on the kind of driving you do. I carry a space-saver in case I get a bad puncture on some country road in the Scottish highlands and there's no phone signal to summon the AA. However, I now also have a can of that Holts stuff, on the off-chance it saves having to faff about changing the tyre. I've heard some garages refuse to repair a tyre that's had tyreweld in it because (they claim) it's too hard to clean the stuff out. Have you had any experience been with that?

Perhaps a V70 would be a better choice if you need more space?

Yep! although some stuff I still don't want rolling around in the boot so underfloor storage would be preferred

@@drivelife.channel I'm still enjoying my ex-police V70 D5 manual after 3 months of ownership. I've strapped a diy/gardening bucket in the back to stop stuff rolling about.

Came with four pages of service history including recent clutch, brake disks and tires. Has one small parking dent other than that completely straight body work. Has a really smart leather interior. A few holes on the dashboard which I've plugged. And a new engine 60,000 miles ago. Its really fast. Has crazy torque steer. Its good fun. Much fasted and better handling then most expect.

Doesn't the holts tire reppear fill your tire with a lot of foam, heavy rubbish? I can't imagine tire repair shops would recommend this 😃
