Hi. I have a 2023 992C4. 20" fronts, 21" rears. I am planning to explore remote areas of Scotland and have a concern re possible punctures/pothole incidents. I am wary of the lack of spare and the gunk/compressor solution although I have no experience of it. Have done a wee bit of research on space savers but different size wheels are a challenge as are hub sizes etc. Any advice gratefully received.
Also- I have Porsche Assistance - has anyone experience of how good they are in helping with punctures - assuming I can get a phone signal?!
 
Welcome to the Forum. 😁
From experience, the sealant/compressor is normally enough to get you going again with a standard type puncture. If you rip a hole in the tyre, the sealant will not work.
Porsche Assistance is great - maybe just have to wait a little longer in the remote areas of Scotland.
Don't believe that Porsche approve any space saver wheels for a 992.
 
My next door neighbour got an unrepairable puncture in the wilds of Scotland in his daily S class. Had zero phone signal so had to wait for a passing local to stop to be able ring the RAC. 5 hours till they arrived then another 3 hours until a suitable replacement tyre was sourced..complete nightmare of a day.

First thing he did when he got home was source a suitable spare/ space saver..
