Saw her again this morning, still going strong! That must be easily 3 months on a space saver - surely a record. I saw her much further round the M25 so she is easily doing 20/30miles each way, insane!

If this is a regular commute at a reasonably regular time is it not worth alerting the police to keep an eye open for her?

A few weeks ago I was passed by a Merc ML with space saver on. it looked like it had been on for a while and the car was doing about 85mph as it passed me..
I'm not sure some people are aware (of anything) but in particular that the space saver is a restricted tyre. Maybe the manufacturers should make them so different and only last a short time, so owners have to deal with the original tyre sooner.

I believe they state a maximum distance to be travelled as well as a maximum speed. Perhaps they should auto deflate after the given mileage, not whilst rotating just when they are stationary.

Having a full sized spare wouldn't work for my W204 Sport as they are different sizes front and rear, no idea why.
