The worry is that those gunge pump up kits will let us down. Itself is the big issue!

I immediately changed over mine on car purchase to the Space Saver hub/tyre and supporting kit (brace and plastic boot mount). Approx £230

Sharpie, as Calnorth has recommended it is advisable to go for a complete Spare Wheel Kit with all the Bits. You might well never have a Puncture but this Gunk stuff has been discussed before, if you have Alloys the stuff sticks like S_ _ _ to a Blanket and also gets into the TPMS Valve which are also expensive. I keep the pump in the QQ for emergencies like this weekend I pumped up a neighbours VW Phanton Wheel which was flat.
I am also past the days of lugging or changing a 19” Alloy Wheel, so I would call the Nissan Service or out here the ADAC ( RAC / AA) if needed. Take a look at the old posts under “Search” which is where all the facts and comments are (enter different titles) - Dave 😉
