    No, no need to delete them.

    It's some good info in this threads you've started and the general awareness that car owners need to plan ahead when they get the puncture is important too. Even having the full size spare seating at home is better than drive 2 days on a spacesaver wheel.

    Actually, I just remembered that the Touaerg2 was offered with optional full size spare with the carrier over the hatch door. Going from my memory, they wanted $2000 for the option. I've regrated many times that I didn't go for it.

    Don't regret it, that looks ugly as sin!
    Better to get the spare and rock it in a roof cage like Alex G

    I sure hope it doesn't have the airbag suspension.

    Google answered my own question on the Taigun. Looks like a fun city car but too small for me.

    Like what they did with the spare. I had this tailgate solution on a Pajero in 1980s worked for me for 10 years.
