So the ds3 has no spare wheel!

[Sigorman85]

So the ds3 has no spare wheel .and only the repair kit that I'm not kean about I would like to know if any Steel wheel fits as a back up .would a saxo or 106 or similar fit for a space saver or get me home?

I think mine has the fun flat tyres on it not 100%
Brigestone potenza's but would t like to drive on them flat

Any info would be great

I didn't think any DS3s had run flats on them ? The first DSport+ I bought in June last year only had the goo kit and compressor as well and the tyres were definitely not run flats.....

Luckily the new DSport+ came with a space saver wheel and jack kit this time when I collected it in May. Not sure what other wheel/tyre would fit the car and wheel well..... Have you asked your dealer how much the space saver wheel kit is ? You could also try a PM to Aidan at Partsworld-UK to see if he can get the space saver wheel ?

It seems all the potenza tyres in eBay are rf :-s

[Sigorman85]

£165 for a wheel is a bit expensive I might aswell go the whole hog and get a alloy and brigestone

Oh ok, if they are run flats they will say so on the tyres. Both mine came with Michelin tyres and they aren't run flats

As well as Aidan also try a PM to Ross Farley

Hi Guys,

Ross Farley at Alistair Fleming Ltd has been kind enough to offer discounts on Genuine Citroen Parts to DS3Club Members.

If you are after some parts for your DS3, it is worth contacting Ross for a quick quote to save yourself some money!

Looks like I will be contacting Ross

DS3's do not come with runflats and E bay has plenty of potenza tyres that are not.

[Aidan@Partsworld-uk.com]

I think the majority of owners that buy a car and it comes without a spare tyre much prefer the spare instead of the foam. That's how manufacturers like to make their money.
CitroenUK do a spare wheel and the tyres are separate. They do a reinforced and a non-reinforced tyre.
If you want a quote on this PM me with your Reg number and i can look the correct ones specific for your vehicle.

Kind Regards,
Aidan

I bought a spacesaver from Ross, trouble is it looks slightly smaller than my wheels. Looking at be 2 links posted here one is a 16" and the one I bought is 15".

Are there different sizes for different models? I have a 61 plate DSport+

[pmatil]

I could be wrong but I don't think a 15" will fit (brakes) at least if you have a THP.

[lfcrule1972]

I'd get back in touch with Ross and double check

[DS3man STEVE]

i got a wheel from a C3 to use as my spare only thing is it fits in the spare wheel hole BUT sits higher than the floor level anyhow i got wheel 15" same as space saver (great tread left) & jack both for £15 from a car breakers yard
but hey thats my decission to got that way for a spare
same as a spacesaver only a bit chunkier :Joni:

[Chris_Blue]

Full size spare for me too
Just the tyre is a 40 instead of a 45 profile
So will be a bit of an uneven ride if ever its used, and needs to get me to a tyre place
