I voted for alternative wheel, but I'm thinking a donut that will get you to the shop/home at 45mph or less. Ideal if it fit in the frunk or the lower trunk somehow.

 

I was thinking about this the other day. I had a puncture, but fortunately the tire inflator got me home. For longer drives it would be nice to have a spare donut to throw on there in case it happens again. Anybody got a link to a donut that will fit?

EDIT: Bonus points for a donut that will also fit a VW ID4 RWD.

20”x5” Spare Tire/Wheel for 5 Lug Wheel Fits 18”, 19”, 20” & 21” Wheel Vehicles

That link is for a 20" (claims it fits Tesla Model 3 Performance) - not sure about the breaks, but given it may fit a 21" wheel as well, it might be worth a try.

Looks like that might work. Good find. Wow, 58 pounds weight like carrying around an extra third grader in the back.

I guess any sparewheel for (at least newer) Volvos will fit Polestar (non PP). I'm thinking of using my Volvo- sparewheel when I'll get my Polestar. I'm still wondering if I'll get PP- version or standard.

I bought my original Volvo- sparewheel from scrapyard and its like new (never used).

 

Or repair the tire on the spot (if possible)

Yes, that's good stuff. I also keep package of that in my trunk. In Finland people call it "camel shit"

 

Has anyone bought one of the above mentioned spares and confirmed they work? Hope to get my moon in the next couple of weeks and will need something to get the car back to a tire shop in the event of a flat.

 

I voted as-is, not only is there the can there is also 24x7 recovery services And nothing new, I can't remember the last new car I bought that had a spare wheel or space saver wheel included.

 

My plan is to buy a used Audi A6/a7 spare and use a bolt pattern adapting spacer as a spare since it matches the OEM diameter and will clear the PP brakes

 

Hi did you ever do this? How did it go? Thanks

 

I have heard good things about these guys ... Homepage ... they don't do a Polestar version (yet), but might be worth contacting then to see if it's possible (in my experience 3rd party suppliers like an opportunity to appeal to teh buyers of additional makes) ... alas, I'm in Australia so wil have to find something more local

 

I now have a spare wheel/tire for long trips and in the event of a flat at home. I picked up a 4-Y 20" PP wheel from VIVA as the price was much better than the $1380 plus tax the space quoted me. I have a Pirelli PZero All Season spare, same type as installed on my P2. I got the front version of the wheel at 8" so will work either way if needed. This way I'm not limping down the highway on a donut at 80km/h and if I need to get a tire replaced/patched I can bring in just the wheel and not the whole car.

 

What is VIVA.?

 

I am glad you guys have the same concern as me, I was also chocked to see no space to place the tire, I would definitely spare the frunk for that purpose for instance. I had a puncture the other day in my regular commute that was not fixable and the spare tire would definitely save my life. Instead, I had to call a towing service which overcharge me cuz they had to use the dolly for some reason (maybe to charge me more, I am still not sure), the thing is I still 2 days later unable to use the car cuz I need a new tire, which I am now going to have to get as a spare, but still, I have no room to place it neither in the front nor the back below the trunk space. I know the engines are there... but still, non practical for emergencies.

Now on longer trips I will have to make room for a tire on the trunk I am most definitely screwed if an emergency occurs.

 

A point nobody had mentioned...at least for the power pack cars.
FRONT brakes are the problem, not the back. It's an extra step, but if you have a flat front tire, put the spare on the back, and take the back tire and put it in the front. It will get you to where you need to go

 

Careful with that, if the tire is totally flat the tire will be unrepairable since lateral damage on the internal threads of the tire might occurred. That is what happened to another tire of mine in one case.
If you are in the middle of nowhere that is fine as a solution as long as you know that you will have to ditch that tire once at your place.

Very similar to the one I bought for my 2025 SMLR Modern Spare Tire. Easily tied down with the hooks in the trunk and the carry case makes it easy to take out when extra space is required. I go to many places where cell signals are spotty at best so I don’t want to rely exclusively on roadside assistance.
