Changing the spare on my Jazz
The space saver-tyre, from new, has never been out of the boot other then for top-up of air. I am considering replacing it with a standard wheel/tyre(matching existing tyres of 185/55R15 82V).
I'm doing this because of the unknown condition of existing space-saver - i.e. could the tyre-material be subject to aging and thus, when needed, fail in its purpose?
I will contact my insurers as to whether a change will affect my policy.
By the way - the car is BRILLIANT!

Good idea. Should be plenty of space for it under the load floor.
