Might this be the end of Tyre GUNK

Tyre Gunk often doesn’t work can this be the answer.

I had one of these on my Touareg, it was brilliant, a great solution.

Tire…?
Are you in Wigan, Wisconsin…?

Seems like an over engineered solution to a problem that has already got a good solution i.e. gunk. Modern gunk can be sprayed into the tyre to float around until needed where it automatically fixes a puncture and it can be washed out with water so does not ruin the tyre for repair purposes.

Gunk is no good at all with any sizeable puncture and definitely no good with a blow out. Gunk isnt good around tpms either, it's an absolute mess for the tyre fitters. Thanks but no thanks.

Alternatively you could make the car big enough to carry a full size spare just like we did in the old days.

Or, make a lightweight, collapsible tyre like we do these days. Saves on weight and space.

A collapsible tyre, or wheel?

As ever it's down to cost and weight saving but at least make the space available and give the customer the option.

It does save quite a lot in reality, waste of time? not really, tyre gunk is though.

Pretty much what MG has done, the MG5 has the option of a spare wheel kit or have the storage for cables etc.

The MG5 only allows room for a space saver tyre so you need to raise the floor if you want a comfortable fit for the real thing.

A space saver tyre is OK. I had one on my Golf and it saved my bacon. Great product.
