Vredestein fits one million Space Master spares

Vredestein Banden B.V. has fitted its one millionth Vredestein Space Master spare tire with a recent fitment on the Audi Q7.

"Drivers have many reservations about spare tires," say Vredestein officials. "Mini spares don't offer the performance of a normal tire and a full-size spare takes up a lot of space."

The Space Master, they claim, provides a volume saving of up to 60% and a weight saving of up to 35% versus normal spares.

Other cars that use the Space Master include the Porsche Cayenne, the Volkswagen Touareg, the Audi A6, various Mercedes Benz models and others.
