I guess the GT-R will be the same, no spare and run flats. Saves on weight too, there isn't a requirement for a jack or any of the other tire-changing gear.

Can you shed some light on that new concept? It may be useful also to our community

Do they use some sort of foam inside tyres? or is it a special type or something?
