Could be. Alloys normally have a flat face. Steel, often a taper.


As we can forget space saving (it's a full sized tyre) then the only
other options are

1. The spare has a smaller rim. That would make no sense as it is a
full sized tyre.

2. Tyre bolts (as per your suggestion)

3. The sticker is just there.

4 And not related to the puncture. Does anyone on this Newsgroup know
how to correctly speak the word Skoda? (the S on Skoda has a small Caron
above it)


Yes. Imagine how Sean Connery would say it. That's the way. (Same as in "Sean" as it happens). ;-)
