Default C4 owners, What do you do for a spare?

Curious is others have picked up a spare for road trips or do you rely on AAA or something of the sort? Carrying the spare would pretty much take over the Frunk space, but it beats being stranded for hours.

My C4 had a spare. It was under the floor in the frunk.

My '01 C4 has spare under the frunk as well. It's deflated, and you're supposed to use the Porsche air pump to inflate it for use.

As others mentioned, there's a space-saver inflatable spare and air pump included under the floor (there's a pull near the front).

Takes up a ton of space, I'm always shocked to see how deep the frunk is in C2s and Boxsters in comparison to my car. But it's definitely worth it that one time you need it.

Sure you don't have one?? One issue usually forgotten is how to squeez the flat tire into the back seat once you have it off.

Better keep a big plastic bag in that frunk too.

Wow! Thanks all. I will take a look. I thought I read on here the other day tat the C4's didn't have them because the frunk is smaller that the C2! Cheers guys.
