spacesaver Spare wheel

[m3p_uk]

What size spacesaver spare wheel would work with the model 3 and where would I be able to pick one up from in the UK at a reasonable cost?
Also anyone manage to easily fit it in the trunk or frunk?

Not a fan of the gunk as that also ruins a tyre if it can be repaired and doesn't always work either.

Apparently the gunk does not play nicely with the acoustic inserts in the tyres

Very true, but might stick a can in for safety incase rescue is too far away.

I tried to get a space saver for a previous car that didnt come with one and no one would really help.

There is no spare tire, even compact, that will fit in the frunk or under-floor compartment in the boot. You can buy a compact temporary speed limited spare from a Hyundai. See thread below. Modern Spare also sells a compact, full speed spare for the Model 3. I don't know if it's available in the UK.

If you're going to use slime, get some holts tyreweld. It does the same job but doesn't destroy the tyre.

Cheers, still prefer a spare wheel as if the tyre has a chunk missing from a kerb or similar then Holt's or gunk won't work.
The spares in those links quite big! I was expecting to see a very slim 50mph spacesaver tyre similar to this but not sure what the correct size would be?:

The gunk doesn’t work if the tyre damage is on the sidewall. I discovered this recently when Mrs interbear’s car had a puncture on a very wet and windy night in the Wye Valley. Had to get recovery to tow the car to a tyre repairer, thankfully covered by the breakdown and recovery insurance provided by her bank account.

On this front, what exactly is the Tesla breakdown / recovery service for new vehicles, and for how long?

something like this inflatable spare would be great if I could find one which was the correct size?!
anyone have any idea how to find one which might be please?
