I have not had any mechanical issue with the car and since I purchased it I have done a slew of things to it including oil change, coolant flush and brakes.

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.

Hello,
I'm about to take my 996 on a road trip from Vancouver, WA to San Francisco, CA and then Newport Beach, CA via Highway 101 along the coast. I've had my 1990 C2 checked over and it has a good bill of health. I do however have one question!
What do you do with the wheel if you get a flat tire and have to use the spare in a temp situation?
The car has 295/30/19s on the rear and they have a diameter of 26.3" and a width of around 13.5" - They won't fit in the front trunk area and they would fit in the back but I can't get the front seat forward enough to actually get it inside the car. I think it might fit if I remove the front seat to allow room to place the wheel in the back, but that seems like a stupid amount of work to do on the side of a road in the case of emergency. Once I get the wheel in the back I would then be able to fit the seat back in and bolt it down.
This sounds kinda crazy and I wondered if anyone has experienced this? My first choice would be to tow it to the closest dealer or tire shop however I'm trying to figure out what I would do in the WORST case situation.
Thoughts? I really want to talk the porsche on this awesome trip, but I'm also trying to cover all my bases.
PS - The tires are brand new Michelin Pilot Super Sports however nothing protects you from road debris.

Only issue with the car is the front bumper has a couple rock chips. I will get it repainted if the new owner would like.
This has hands down been the most fun car I have ever owned. I have not had any mechanical issue with the car and since I purchased it I have done a slew of things to it including oil change, coolant flush and brakes. Plugs were changed around 200 miles ago to fresh stock plugs and gapped down. All service done at either BBI Autosport or Cobb Tuning So Cal.
This car has never been raced while I owned it, never seen a track. I rarely drove it and it sat in doors with a car cover over it.
Now, as the car sits it makes 580WHP and about 580ft/lbs of torque to the wheels. It is tuned way down as not to be aggressive on the rods. The car has tunes for E85 and 91 Octane. This car runs as good as stock if not better. I have a lot of time in the tune on this car so I can say it would be hard to find a better running car. This is also the perfect setup for someone who wants to do a 997 Turbo with bigger turbos, as this car has literally everything that would be needed to do bigger turbos minus the turbos and the lines.
These are the modifications done to the car as of right now:
Engine:
GMG Exhaust with High Flow Cats
Cobb Tuning 1000cc Injectors
Cobb Tuning Accessport with various different calibrations
OS Giken Twin Disc Clutch
Suspension:
Eibach Lowering Springs
Stock wheels and tires are brand new!
Exterior:
LED Tail lights
LED DRL's
Fixed spoiler Kit ( Not Installed)
Interior:
Has the bluetooth module/ Ipod hook up.
LED Lights for all interior lights
Passport Radar Detector Hardwired
Price is as follows:
$65,000 firm. No trades, no low ball offers. This is the price.
Please email me if you are interested in the car.
DO NOT PM!
There is a group of people that will get the PM's notification and this is a sale of my personal car not Cobb as a company.
[email removed]
Please let me know if you have any questions at all! Happy to answer any questions and can ship ( Buyer would pay but we have a good amount of transport companies that we use)
Thanks for looking!

Try reclining the passenger seat (maybe driver's seat too) all the way back, then push the wheel toward the back. You might need to keep the rear seat(s) upright to recline the front seat all the way, but once the tire is all the way behind the front seats, you can fold 'em down. I've stored big boxes several times at the back of my little '86 Carrera this way - should be fine with the 996 as well :P
Call "AAA" have them plug it and drive to the nearest tire store and buy a new tire that way the wife will still be nice to you the rest of the trip and not make your life hell. AAA is alot less than a roof rack and the interior stays nice.
caperss said what I have in both my 996 and Z06. I carry a small portable compressor and a tire repair kit made by Stop n Go. I've used it on my wife's car and it only takes 20 mins then you're back on the road. Take the plugged tire to be patched from the inside or replace it.

Already have an old blanket for the backseat area so I don't mess up the interior and need to find some big plastic bags that a wheel would fit into.
** I hope I don't need to worry about this, but I just need to be sure I've gone through the options in my head before I leave.
Thanks for the advice folks...
Do not use Fix a Flat if you can avoid it. It could play havoc on getting your wheels balanced perfectly afterwards. For an econobox, maybe but not a car like ours IMO.
yeah, isn't that great! someone drives it around ( gorgeous perfect specimen btw ) adds another 268 miles to the odo..takes some better pics and adds $4800+ to the price! certainly their prerogative. was a steal at 65 though.
gotta love used car dealers. sheesh.
So I did a test fit this weekend (on Saturday) to determine if I could fit a 295/35/19 in the back seat area of a 996. Here are the results:
The Good News: You can fit a 295/25/19 once you fold the back seats down in a 996. However it takes a bit of work (about 10 minutes extra) as I had to remove the 4 front seat mounting bolts so I could move the seat really far as I could not get it by the seats otherwise.
The Bad News: I decided to prepare the car for the trip including a good wash. We depart next Sunday but I am away on business in Philly & NYC this week so this weekend is when I need to get everything done. I finished washing the car and noticed I had a flat tire on the passenger rear. I filled it up with air and noticed a screw in the tire. What are the chances??? I'm just glad it happened now as my wife can take the tire to get fixed while I'm away.
I've attached pictures of the test fit as well as the screw in the tire

LOL.......I bought my 07997tt from a Porsche dealer in SC for $77 and sold it a few months later for $82. Don't be a hater........its not a very attractive quality.
Quote:
i was merely pointing out a statement of fact, and while I'm familiar with the term, i'm not sure where you got the "hate" from? it was more of a bemused disdain, if you must know
car was sold a couple months ago, and now with more miles and now at an indie dealer and the price went up by nearly 5k?! and my mention of that is hating? lol. need to re-learn your hip hop speak...
and the last thing i'd want to have for you is "attractive qualities", but sure. i'll take it under advisement. ahh, no i won't actually

No worries..... Some years ago, a rich kid sold me his 1-yr old $60,000.00 Supra Turbo for $7,500.00. I kept it for 3 years as a DD and sold it for a lot more years later.

I hope you mean Pacific Coast Highway. Perhaps it is 101 until hits CA. I took the drive from bay area into Santa Barbara in the 996 cabriolet. Best drive ever.

So far, so good....
We've made it to San Francisco and are visiting with some friends in San Jose today. Head out on Friday for Santa Barbara and then to Newport Beach as our final stop for 5 days.
Taking the 101 down the Oregon coast was awesome.. I'm looking forward to Highway 1 next.
Later, Marc
Great question. Best answer for myself was to drive the family car and let the 996 sit in my garage. Last thing I want to worry about is, "How am I going to explain to my wife we have no spare tire." Can you say divorce..lol
