I notice Peugeot offer a space saver on the higher end 108, and its an option on the lower spec ones according to the website.

I think I missed this option when I was at the dealer the other day, has anyone else opted for it?

Hey

Where is the hidden spot for the spare located in 108?

Thanks!

The spare wheel is standard on Allure and Feline and as an option on Active and Access

I have one. I think its worth having, otherwise if you get a puncture on the hardshoulder of a motorway you'll have some issues.

But not on the Top! version (for some completely unknown reason)

 

[Mr. Auto]

So does the 108 come standard with a spare tire? Or do i have to get that as an option as well?

Cheers!

I believe it is to do with the weight of the TOP version. The hood adds extra weight, so to get emissions level down to that of the standard car they had to do away with the space saver wheel.

Why not go for a full size spare, it fits in the well nicely.

Interesting, have you done it? Full size 15" with what size tyre?

spot on all due to silly emission regs!

I have a full size spare in my top! now, my dealer had a customer that did not want a spare and i had a compressor i did not want.

we swapped between cars and drove of happy

How lucky were you. These things don't happen very often, right place at right time. I'll be buying one off ebay. Would I be correct in thinking a 107 spare will do the job?

107 have 14" wheels, all the 108's have 15" except the low spec access

Looks same PCD, centre bore and offset. So should be okay.

the different rolling radius may well mess the abs and esp up when you are running 1 smaller wheel

Checked in car showroom, 108 has a 15" steel spare with 125/70 tyre fitted. Same as fitted to Yaris, so just bought one off ebay, brand new with new tyre fitted for £35 delivered. Just need to get the jack, plenty on ebay off of 107, C1, Aygo, but the foam holder will be too small for the 15" wheel as designed to fit in 14" wheel. No big deal, just be a bit loose, fixed with some double sided tape.

The 15" spare is a space saver. The overall wheel is about an inch smaller in diameter, so that will have some impact on speedo readings, etc.
I just wonder if the TPMS light will illuminate when using the spare wheel, it should do.

I had a slow puncture last week and luckily got to a garage for a repair before having to resort to using the puncture repair kit! But I realised I need to source a space saver tyre ASAP- peugeot want £170 for one!!! I googled the spec on the door and it came up with this....

Does that look right? Will it come ready to use? I'm clueless!

 

[123-108]

The wheels might be smaller but are the tyres not thicker to make the actual radius the same?

 

[Sooooze]

No idea!
