.Hi you need the 16inch space saver part number 42600-F4210 you will also need the kit to raise the boot floor to fit the spare wheel if you have a 1.8 CHR

There is a lot of very good info on here about fitting the spare wheel in the boot. I gave it some thought but decided against it. These days if you get a flat on the roads you would be very lucky to get it where you could safely change a wheel without putting yourself in danger.

I understand what you are saying but what are the chances of the break down/recovery van having a replacement? You could be waiting a long time until you can get your car moved.

Some breakdown services use the multi fit spare wheel, developed by the AA about 6 years ago.

Dedicated spare would still be better - The problem with the AA spare is it's often the wrong diameter, which you can get away with if it's on a dead axle and assuming it clears the wheel-arch, but if it's on a live axle it could wreck the diff!

That's why they still usually call for a flatbed if the car is AWD.

Maybe get run flat tyres if your driving is mainly local. i had a blow out once on the m25 and in all honesty it's quite a frightening experience just with the noise level, let alone just looking at the AA chap fitting the spare. 

[FROSTYBALLS]

There is also a second generation, larger multi fit spare for heavier vehicles such as SUVs, etc. Yes they won't suit every vehicle, but it is an alternative to carrying around a heavy spare all time.

How often do you get a puncture? In the last 10 years and more, we've had one slow puncture, where it was safe enough to drive to our Toyota dealer for a free repair, and one puncture which necessitated changing the wheel (done by the AA, and where the tyre was also safely repaired).

[Cyker]

That's not really a good way to look at it - By that logic, we wouldn't need data backups because how often does your organization get hacked by ransomware, or seat belts or airbags, because how often do you get in a vehicle collision?

It's just there as a safeguard - I haven't had a puncture for ages, but I went though a period where I had them so often I trialled that Puncturesafe stuff as if I had 4 punctures it would have paid for itself (And it almost did except one if the subsequent puncture was in the sidewall... murphy's law strikes again!)

Also having a spare means you won't have to wait like 3 hours for the AA to turn up if you're in the stix somewhere - Knowing you have the tools and equipment to get yourself out of a jam just lends some peace of mind.

Having had a wrtitten off rim and three punctures in the last 12 months I'm fully in favour of a proper spare. They know where they can stick that gunk!

I finally sorted my own space saver and I used the Toyota parts listing shown in this thread unaware at the time  that 3 of the items were not needed after all, new dummy floor deck board, inner quarter panel trim and a rear panel trim piece that goes across the the body panel around the lock striker.  This was because the 3 parts in question are already standard fit for 2022 models.  The 3 surplus parts were returned just in time to the dealer and he refunded my card for £106 only 24 hours before the 30 day deadline for returns lapsed.    So the entire cost of the tool kit, polystyrene blocks  and the space saver was £265 incl vat.

Like others have said I just prefer a spare and then if a flat occurs have it repaired if viable rather than use the goo kit  and totally ruin my chances of having a conventional repair because the  tyre company doesn't want the bother of removing the goo from the wheel and lose a new tyre sale.
