The spare wheel is always hard enough to drive to the nearest petrol station where you will find a compressor.<br><br>I have never removed this spare wheel (wheel? can't call it a proper wheel even..) since I have my car.<br><br>Wait, not true, have removed it while replacing kit for the rear light cluster <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START ;) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... s/wink.gif ALT=";)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> LOL <p><I>Cya,</I><BR> <BR>Daniël Wilten</B><BR><B>Volvo 480 ES Dark Green Metallic, 1996<BR>Volvo 480 ES Graphite Grey Metallic, 1987<BR></B><IMG SRC="http://www.volvo-480-europe.org/images/smallbanner.jpg" alt='Welcome to the Volvo 480 club EUROPE'></p><i></i>

Hey there,<br><br>Don't forget, if you use 'tire-in-a-can' your tire is wasted, and you can't use it any more. And there still has to be air in your tire to use 'tire-in-a-can' so you can't use it when you have a real flat tire.<br><br>Greetz and drive safely <p></p><i></i>
