I have a full size spare for sale elsewhere on freel2, but just thought I would put the question out there, which is best?

your selling a perfectly good tyre, maybe just keep it for use when needed or sell it i would keep it for as long as you own the car then sell At work

So you think I should keep it then? Not used a spare tyre in 20 odd years, so seems like money to be sat there not gaining anything...

I bought a full size spare for mine. I have never had a puncture in my life and have never had to change a wheel by the roadside....but....I have the peace of mind that if I do have a problem, I am covered. I am a tad risk averse and carry a hydraulic bottle jack, a breaker bar and a torque wrench in the boot!

Keep the spare!!! Never have needed one.....until my freelander arrived last Tuesday. Wednesday flat rear tyre! Stealers have agreed to replace both rear tyres (flat is a nail in the side wall). I have no spare but will be keeping the non punctured tyre now, as I've had to wait 2 days for the tyres to come into the tyre place. If I had a spare tyre I'd be able to use the car a bit.

Ah so the problem isnt the fact that you wont be stranded at the roadside cos we have LR Assist, but the real issue is in having a replacement so you can carry on driving!?

Had a blowout which shredded the tyre, pulled over jacked car up, shredded wheel off, full sized spare on, carried on with journey in under 15 minutes. No waiting for LRA/AA/RAC/Green Flag etc.
