All vehicle manuafacturers who use space saver wheels or a repair kit.
FROM:
Individual drivers - Companies with a fleet of vehicles - Concerned road users.
REQUEST:
Please reinstate the practice of using full size spare wheels in all new vehicles produced.
REASONS:
Space saver wheels - limited to 50mph(80kph) not practical when national speed limit in most countries is 60mph+. Should only be used as temporary measure have seen many vehicle use space saver for months.If used in this way there is more a possibility that the tyre will not take the stress and result in a blowout. Space saver wheels are not acceptable if used on a vehicle presented on a driving test.
Repair kit - Only useful if you get a puncture the size of a nail head anything bigger needs to be towed to nearest tyre shop.
ADVANTAGES OF PROPER SPARE WHEELS:
A wheel that is the same size as the other 3 on the vehicle that can be driven up to the speed limit any time any where.

I had a side wall tear having caught a hidden rock down a narrow lane in the middle of Wales. No spare, only a can of S**T foam. Totally useless. No phone reception, almost 2 mile walk before I could use phone. Car left in forest for two days whilst getting tyre changed. If I'd had a spare would have been home in no time.
