No idea, I was doing 70 mph on the M40 when it happened, luckily it was a rear wheel, I felt the drag so pulled over to the hard shoulder and changed it, I don't think you are allowed to do it, but I was young & stupidHow did that happen and not damage the wheel?
Looks a good tyre I would stitch that with cable ties and put a tube in it.I'm glad I had a spare when this happened, no amount of gunk and a compressor would fix it!

I took the foam bit out of our Mii ev and put a matching alloy in, had to deflate it to get it in, the pump will re inflate it,My mrs's Seat MII ev has no spare, its space has been nicked by the granny charger holder, charging lead stockage and other bits n bobs, but it comes with a air pump and slime. "who needs a spare anyway, I'll just call the breakdown" she says at my concerns...
First puncture, big tear in the sidewall, fancy alloy's a odd size as she had the demo car and it had every option fitted. Came home on a breakdown truck after a 3 hour wait, and nobody in the region can supply the tyre size within 48 hours because its a bank holiday weekend. Buy new tyre online, comes next day, fit it with tyre levers myself in the shed.
I keep saying we should get a spare wheel, because even if its not in the car, I'm usually within easy driving distance, and I dont take 2 hours to turn up like the breakdown.
When I used to do international runs in my sprinter, I carried two spares, because I could.
When I was looking at used cars a few years ago, it was either VW or Volvo had a spare wheel with the tyre deflated and sidewalls sort of folded to get it to fit in the wheel well.I took the foam bit out of our Mii ev and put a matching alloy in, had to deflate it to get it in, the pump will re inflate it,
a new ply board over the top covers it
Full size steel wheels would be available for these.
