Tyre in Boot of Cayman ?

[guyh]

Anyone know if I can get a front tyre in the boot of my Cayman ?

In the rear boot itself you would get one for a wheel barrow but not a full size Cayman tyre that's for sure. That said look here http://www.planet-9.com/reviews/cayman-cosmetic-mo... for one on the engine cover.

No chance, i doubt you would get it in the gap behind the seats above the engine either. More chance in the front but not sure.

Sorry I meant the front boot

17, 18 or 19 inch tyre?

I tried to get an 18 in my car once and it was a non starter.

19, blast

No way pal!

Thought it was a long shot. Front near side looking worn on edge (it's slick), had geo adjusted so think it will be okay, but 2 track days at Le Mans might induce heavy wear.

couldn't get an 18" tyre in the front compartment on my 987 Boxster - about 2 inches too tall. Managed to get 2 fronts stoop upright on the passenger seat, using some Audi tyre bags (£23 a set) to protect the seat...

You can get it on the engine lid. This is mine with a 19" front wheel on the engine cover. A rear will also go in if you move the seats an inch or so forwards.

I strap a collapsible spare in the front boot for daily use, and on the engine lid when touring.

To be honest I dont fancy a wheel in the back/on engine cover. If you are involved in a crash thats going to make a mess of your head.

Very true

[Richard Hamilton]

Point taken, but it is strapped down with webbing straps onto the load securing rings. It would also have to break the seat backs.

Eh, there's no way thats 8 inches pal. Your tape measure musted be fooked, that's gotta be at least 12.

Well that's as far as my wife needs to know, when I get mine out.(So to speak)
