Is it true that the Cayman does not have a spare tire but a sealant and pump?
Has that been a problem? Are the tires of a size and type that are readily
available at most places?

Thanks

major dealers in urban areas would - or could get them quickly.

I've got an '06 997...which like all the new era cars (beginning '05) is
also missing a spare tire. The factory is trying to reduce the car's weight
to increase gas mileage and increase trunk space. Also, when carrying 2
people, it is near to impossible to get a wheel inside anyway, as they
certainly won't fit in the trunk. Getting tires in major markets is no
problem. If you're stranded somewhere in Montana...you'll be waiting for
FedEx. If it's an irreparable blow out, you call 1-800-PORSCHE...and wait
for a flatbed.

We're planning on doing some touring later this spring and summer and (like
you), I'd feel more comfortable with some kind of spare.
