Unfortunately I had a flat after 3 laps. Fortunately it did not happened at Mosport.

How was the drive back with the spare?

 

...or rather: how long was the drive back with the spare?

 

Did the drive in two stages. Stopped at the outlaws in Oakville, for lunch.
Drive home from there wasn't pleasant, all highway.

 

Glad to hear the spare actually works!

 

why didn't you flatbed?

 

Why?

 

Was your tire damaged ? There was no garage near the track who could repair your flat ?

 

The cut was in the sidewall, not repairable as far as I know.

 

Yeah you're doing the right thing getting new tires; it was not repairable.

 

Doesn't have CAA, so the only other choice is to use the spare. I don't even have my spare in the car. It's CAA for me if anything happens.

The 997 doesn't even come with a spare

 

The spare collapsible tires in modern 911's (starting with the 964) is a safety device for front impact collision and is not designed to be used as a spare tire really. On a 993, it can only be used on the front wheels. If you get a flat rear tire, you are supposed to put one of your front tires to replace the rear flat tire and put the spare on the front. Too much work, I would call the flatbed truck.

 

I think you can order one if you want but I don't know if it fits the AWD models.

I like the commentary in the video


Eshel, how many mb's was that video? How's your Mac Pro doing? Great quality again

Fortunately it's a 996.
