Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

6 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

My spare tire (which I recently had to use) was made in 2001, the same year as my Boxster. Discount Tire says that Continental no longer makes the 105/95 R17, and I can't seem to find one. The replacement they sold me (which they will refund) doesn't fit in the allocated space when fully inflated. Any ideas on where to get a new one of these tires? I searched online, but can't find anyone that has one. Alan P.S. I searched the forums first, but could only find entire spares for sale, some with tires as old as mine.

POST 2Original post

Last month I noticed the spare (original in my 2000) was not holding air. I was able to get my local Goodyear to replace the valve stem so as to keep required pressure. Big relief as evil-bay and others want hundreds for them. Porsche dealer somewhere told me it is in stock for high price but I failed to ask the production date.Check the classifieds here and local PCA regions. Mine is old too.Maybe we will all be OK for very short usage.

POST 3Original post

Well, all take-out spare tires are going to be 10 years old at the newest as they were discontinued when 987/997 production started. Could look into a Vredestein collapsible tire to see if there's one that will fit the rim.

What size was the replacement they sold you? Was it this tire? http://www.tirerack.com/tires/TireSearchResults.jsp?width=125%2F&ratio=80&diameter=17

POST 5Original post

I'd really like to put a nice new tire on my spare rim but can't source one. somebody figure this out for us all!

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
