Default Has anyone used the Tyre Mobility System before?

I need to get my car to a shop about 50 miles away and just found out there's not a spare tyre in the back, but TMS instead.

Interesting, but it seems a spare would be more useful.

Default Spare Tire without question

TMS is useless in my opinion

Default Yes, ok, I thought I just didn't know how to properly appreciate TMS.

Given that it only works for punctures that are less than 6mm in diameter, I shudder at the thought of having a tire problem driving down to LA on the I-5 late at night.

I am considering buying a spare and putting it in the spare tire bay instead.

Default There is no room in the spare tire bay in the trunk of the RS4....

The battery takes up most of the space.
