It is easy you just need to pull the low profile floor jack along with the wheel guide, 6ft breaker bar, and torque wrench out of the frunk. Easy peasy?

I guess I should spec the roof rack so I can mount a Thule box. But that may not work well on my Targa.

How much of that is different between center locks and standard 5-lugs? As far as I know, the tools required to change wheels are not included with any 992.

IMO, if you’re left stranded because of a flat, getting an appropriate replacement tire will be a bigger challenge than tackling those center locks…

Exactly! Creating false narratives to support a 5-lug choice is just another shade of confirmation bias.

Either way you will be calling Porsche Roadside Assistance.

Two points:

(1) In addition to not having the tools to replace the tire, on the spot…there is no spare to replace it with. So, unless your bud is gonna bring out a spare tire for you, you are left with option #2.

(2) Use the (included) leak patching goo, and then inflate the tire (with the included compressor)…OR, wait for a ftalbed to arrive and haul you off to the nearest Porsche dealership (wherever that might be), and they will order you a new replacement.

I have used that goo and inflated flat tires before and they have been perfectly fine, and remained sealed until the tread wear required I replaced them. Depends on how sever the puncture is? That said, if I was planning to track, I would never keep that tire on my car. I opted for the Porsche tire replacement plan, so if I got a flat, I would only use the goo to get me home and to the dealership the next day.

Exactly right. I'm not sure what the 5 luggers think they're gonna do once they have their wheel off in the case of a flat. Use the goo and go -- that's what Porsche set things up to do.

In all my cars, except the Porsche, I run non-flat tires. I no longer track the M4, so having run flats don’t bother me. Far from optimal in spirited driving, they sure do give me tremendous piece of mind on a trip…knowing there’s little chance I will be stranded on a busy highway, in rush hour waiting for the flatbed.
