may aswell, your never guna use it, and POINT in having a spare if you can't use it

"Hello, is this AA. Yes i have a puncture, yes i have a spare but i can't use it because its got a minty mint Dunlop D4 on there. Can you tow me home please"

Unless of course the car is mint and its worth keeping, but short of that its completely useless

Are they worth any money?

I have my spare wheel/tyre in the loft. It was totally unused when I got the car, still had the little nobbles on it, then Beccy's Dad got a puncture while he had the car and used the spare!!

It's only done about 5 miles though.

Well.........who knows but anything original and unused with a Ford badge seems to fetch the pennies.........if you have a mint one why not try your luck?

Second hand S2 alloys are ten to a penny
