You have jack stands but no jack?

Isn't four flats excessive for that amount of time?

A late reply and I hope I am not repeating things - a couple thoughts, if this issue is still bubbling ...

1) Call Porsche dealer to your liking and ask them if they will price match you on a tire (explain your situtation). I had a nail in an almost new rear tire and was able to get a very close price match with the dealer -- at least at a price point I was ok with paying since they had the exact replacement tire in stock and could get it done within a couple hours. Then have PRA flatbed your car to that dealer.

2) As per Damon @ Tirerack above, drop ship a tire to your repair shop, and use AAA to flatbed to your shop. Depending on your AAA coverage your cost between 1) & 2) may not be as big as you may think.

Properly plug and patch (from inside) that tire and store in your garage/basement/crawl space. Now you have an emergency spare.

Yeah, I thought so to. Probably just the crappy roads in Jersey. These wide, flat tires are a magnet for road debris. All of the flats were on the rear. 2 of the flats were able to be patched though.

Weird, all of my Porsche flats/nails, etc have also always been on the rears. I guess it's more likely for fronts to deflect the problem and the rears to pick it up.

I have had 2 back tires and 1 front tire replaced by my $800 Porsche flat tire/wheel warranty. So, I'm way ahead of the game. All mine have been nails or screws that just caused the pressure to drop, but not go completely flat.

Does the suncoast collapsable spare wheel/tire kit fit in the 991 frunk?

LexVan

Back seat.

Not even diagonally, like in the 997?

Is it possible just to carry an "tube" so that if you do get a side wall puncture the wheel could be temporarily repaired ( by tire installer ) until you reach your destination.

Just a thought ..............

fwiw I too have had 5 carreras and when they deleted the spare 3 models designations ago i picked up a boxster spare- at this point I have no clue if it would fit w the brakes but its in the frunk and makes me feel better
