These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Recently purchased the Boxster and decided to check things throughout. When I got to the spare tire, it was seriously lacking air. After attempting to inflate it I discovered that the valve stem had a major leak. The tire on the car was the donut type and hard as a rock. Took it to a tire shop, but the guy declined to even touch the tire/wheel. Does anyone have the red wheel, Continental donut type tire and if so what do you do to get a functioning spare?

POST 2Original post

My local gas station and Firestone attempted to replace the spare tire valve stem on my 2000 Boxster last week with out success. After 14 years it had dry rotted even though it had never been on the ground! The Goodyear shop did it fine and it was $3.15. Got lucky! Check around.

POST 3Original post

I have one I no longer need. Make me an offer It's a spare tire/wheel and the black cover, no tools.

POST 4Original post

Check around and don't overpay. The spares you see on eBay for $200+ have been there for years unsold. You should be able to find one for well under $100 (+ shipping). I threw two of them in the trash because they weren't worth the hassle to sell/ship. Start here, its listed for $1. Close enough that you can drive up and pick it up to save shipping.
