With two cars, I've had 3 in the last 10 years. All 3 were nails that did not completely deflate the tyres.

So I will take my chances and if I cannot 'limp' into the tyre dealer, I will call Porsche Assist / AA to recover my car.

Perhaps I should carry a spare alternator belt instead :roll:
I've had quite a few as I work on an industrial site. The puncture I had in France with a run flat enabled me to limp to a garage. I was then stuck there for 48 hours whilst they sourced the 'unusual' 20" size. €550 later I wished I'd had a spare even though runflats were BMWs puncture solution.

I might get both but you can't order both Goo and Spare together. So will order Goo elsewhere.

The airman kits I think Porsche rebrand are cheaper on Amazon anyway

Fully agree, get the spare wheel and hope you never need to use it. I have fire extinguishers at home using the same logic. Also get the airman, the sealant used can be washed out and although the Amazon site says up to 20”wheel? Airman’s site states 450ml canister is up to 21”. Just some added security for the price of 3 fuel fill ups.

Does the Collapsible wheel come with a compressor? Strange that Porsche doesn't let you Config both on the Confudgerator 🤔

Yes, not easy, especially with the Porsche-supplied screw jack device. I had to take a wheel off my Macan for repair recently, and did it in my drive with my trusty old 2-ton trolley jack. I was surprised to find that the jack was barely capable of the task! I've now bought a bigger, stronger, 3-ton trolley jack for the next time I have a problem.
