996tt space saver tyre update

[coxy911]

Having had a puncture and found my space saver tyre would not inflate due to it not seating correctly for a good seal,as these cars are getting older now it might be worth checking your own so your not stranded anywhere. 10 min job and piece of mind. P.s got mine reseated at local tyre fitters £5, porsche wanted replacement item £300.

Is this a Vredestein Space Master space saver? They need to be fitted using a special machine in order to seat them without inflating them. If the tyre has been changed then this may explain it.
