How Long Before? (Tyre Related) - R75
Having just read the thread on the Buying of a Honda Civic, and the comment about no spare wheel, along with the other threads about the same problems with different manufacturers, how long do you think it will be before we have 24hr roadside tyre fitting services (with emergency call outs) just like truck and buses do?

A few times I have had a flat in a truck and had mobile fitters there within an hour and was on my way within 2 hours, I personally can see this happening with cars within a year to 18 months nationwide. We already have a fair few mobile fitters so would not take much for them to offer this service. Only down side I can see is that your choice of "Emergency" tyre may well be very limited!!!
