I personally havent read the T&C's but... when i had a flat tyre and called out Green Flag Recovery i had to pay them £25 because i didn't have a spare wheel. But i didn't find this out til i received a letter from them asking for £25!! Cheeky so and so's. I've now got a proper spare wheel in the boot

 

[mradam87]

Did you use the same wheel as foxspeed has Emz or you done it a different way?

I've got a full size spare in the boot. I paid £70 for the alloy and £20 for a part worn Dunlop

 

[Foxspeed]

yes - megane - but actually its a espace wheel technically :biggrin:

Great thread,I've bought the Renault espace spare and found a new conti van tyre on ebay for £75.
Cheers for the Info.

I presume / hope the answer to this is 'yes', but is the above wheel tyre still fine for an RS200 with the cup chassis?

Also, I know the reasons why the jack isn't supplied with the cup chassis equipped Clio, but does anyone know the part code for the standard jack also?

I do high mileage and would rather cart a spare around in the boot than rely on a couple of tins of tyre repair foam which don't do much in the event of a shredded tyre.

Personally I would go for a 175/55R17 tyre, closer to the correct rolling circumference, fine on this width of wheel, and a touch narrower too!
