What have people done for a spare in their RS4...Not sure it comes with one.

By the way, I take delivery at the end of May...can't wait.

no spare. i've ordered a oe rim with tire to
put in the trunk for long trips and keep in the garage for local driving....just in case.

Got stock wheel and tire and jack. I figured that another 65-70 lbs. is no big deal and the real spare is better than the system that is standard. It may be that it works fine for small punctures, but if the sidewall is punctured, it won't be effective. I do not like the idea of being stranded waiting for a tow truck.

blew out my tire on the goethals bridge in NY/NJ

sidewall was cut bad in 2 different spots (it was debris and i didnt even see it)

had to wait for a tow and my tire was replaced free of charge the next day by Bell Audi (i have tire/wheel insurance)

interesting thing i learned about the tire/wheel insurance is that the wheel is not replaced UNLESS it is so badly damaged that it cannot safely hold air...so it doesnt protect against cosmetic damage (damn fine print)

kind of annoying to not be able to even have a donut but its reality
