Any of you lot keep a space saver in the back? Not bothered about getting a full-sized spare, but neither am I keen to rely on tyre foam. Would this work?

Or how about a 20” full size steelie?

Hi kidyanto,

the audi a6 space saver might work as rolling circumference is 3% greater than oem tyres, which is just within the 4% limit so doesn't upset the differentials and ASR. I assume wheel stud pattern is the same as RS6 oem. I believe your speed is limited to 80km/hr. You can also buy this same size tyre from tirerack usa.http://www.tirerack.com/tires/TireSearc ... iameter=20



An alternative as posted on the forum is to deflate a full sized tyre and wheel and fit that.

Hi John,

Yeah, as soon as I'd posted the question I remembered that thread (but couldn't locate it for some stupid reason) and decided to find a spare wheel on eBay and just chuck on one of my old tyres (just had new GY Eagles fitted). Bound to be cheaper than buying a brand new SS and certainly safer than buying a used one! Thanks for the link.
