Some owners up here have bought the Chrysler sebrings and they don't have a spare wheel only a compressor and a can of sealant. I was under the impression that we had to have a full sized spare wheel or a space saver, as the sealant is only good for minor repairs and you have to replace the tyre once you have used it |

I'm not sure that is the reason. More likely that a serviceable spare enables you to complete your journey with minimum inconvenience to your passengers. The 'rule' appears as a condition on my licence. I'm not sure if there is a statutory requirement. |

Cant see an issue really, the spare wheel is exactly that.....something to get you out of the sh*t. CC |

Our LA won't let you work with a space saver and you have to have a spare wheel and not the spray stuff. Even if you have a full sized spare once it has been placed on the vehicle you still have to go home until you have another spare wheel cos you can't work without one |
