Better than nothing, but not by much.

Just changed my mind, I want a spare wheel, even a space saver.

Got a bloody great stone in the rear tyre, gunky stuff just pumped out of hole. Just about got enough air in it to get the 1 mile home.

Is there nothing we can do to put this right.

www.mytyres.co.uk will sell you a new steel wheel with tyre to suit the V60 they also do a very competitive deal on a full set of alloys with winter tyres. As I live in the country considering buying a set before winter arrives.

Spoke to my local Volvo dealer, he has quoted me £400 for space saver, jack etc for my 2012 XC60!

Seriously considering it, cannot risk being stranded.

In the MY13 XC60 Price List the Tempa spare plus "jack kit" is quoted as £150 inc VAT. That's the price if ordered with a new car, so don't know if they'll do it for the same price after sale.

Got a Tempa spare wheel now, after my experience with the sealant I will always have a spare from now on.

Cost me £282.96 from the dealer - wheel, jack, foam wheel insert thingy.
Car is a lease vehicle, so I will either use it if I have another XC60 or sell it on afterwards

Hi : I bought a Pugeot 206 some years ago for she who must be obeyed, I asked the salesman to supply a proper spare wheel not a space saver. He supplied one alright but no bloody tyre on it though.
