I know that the RS4 is not equipped with a full size spare tire, but can you put one in? I know you would have to buy a wheel/tire and the tie down kit, but is that possible? Looking at buying a RS4 and with the amount of driving I do I would not want to be left on the side of the road/street waiting for roadside with a flat. TIA

Ah...... Nuts, I guess just put get one and put it in the trunk for long trips.

either that, or rely on the 'tire mobility system', or rely on roadside assistance.

work on tires in which tire sealant(fix a flat) has been used."

the tire's pretty much a goner if you use it...even if it does fix the leak temporarily.

I have a set of winter tires/wheels so i just put one of the off season wheels in the trunk. Yea it takes up trunk space and it does screw up the TPMS (the tire in the trunk has a sensor so it messes up the computer)

It is my daily driver so I don't want to be stranded...the other alternative is to remount the battery in the trunk but that requires much more effort but you would reclaim some more trunk volume.
