If they are flat, they will certainly affect the range ?Could run flats be a possibility, or would they affect the range?

Just thought I would reignite the spare wheel discussion. Has anyone looked into it further or tried fitting potentially sized wheels?
Run flats have a stiffer tyre wall construction which could potentially affect rolling resistance when normally inflated .If they are flat, they will certainly affect the range ?
You could always read page 263 of the owners manual or even Google tyre repair kit and watch one of the many videos on you tube.I wouldn’t know what to do if I had a flat
Has anyone made a video or anything about all the stuff under the flap in the boot?
No need for a foot pump - there's a compressor under the boot floor alongside the can of "gunk".
I also have a pouch with "tar string" units in my boot - I find that repair method to be very effective. (My old Golf GT got a puncture 2 weeks after I got it new. I repaired it using one of those tar string repair kits and the tyre never lost any pressure, and it was only replaced when all 4 tyres were changed at some 40k+ miles).
Similar to tubeless bicycle tyres but I always carry an inner tube as back up for that.This sort of thing:

You clear the hole, feed the string through the "needle" (half way), insert the needle/string into the tyre then give the needle 1 1/2 turns then pull back out. Slice off the excess string near to the tyre surface. Then inflate the tyre. Very easy to do - I've done several tyres in the past, including a motorbike rear tyre, all without any issues.![]()
