I reckon he's lost the plot.
Hi Dazz,Does the PD have a narrow space saver or is it just narrower in width with a higher profile tyre?
While using a full sized spare in the SR/SR Premium means lifting the floor height 2", you gain those two inches of space around the edges of the tyre under the raised floor. That's handy space for small odds and sods you carry every day, like a compressor, extra tools, etc.Bob

My eagle eyed mate noticed Cadogan was handling a wheel with a Continental Tyre on it!!!
I better try not to get a puncture then!
All the space savers I have seen have a lower rolling diameter than the road wheels.To me that can't be good, especially on the drive train.

Then trying to put it all back on top of a flat tyre which is 2" higher than the one you took out. Back in my youth, had boot full , back seat and floor full of holiday gear and stuff. HT Holden had cross -ply spare tyre. Got a flat rear -245/60 on 8" wide alloys - would NOT fit in the space - ended up on front bench seat between girl friend - ( wife ) and me . Only had 50 kms to go.Funny now but not at the time .
Ahhh, Cross ply tyres --them were the good old days. I can remember discussions about the danger changing to the new radial things.
