I recently purchased an A2 TDi which came with the space saver wheel. However the tyre on the spare wheel is damaged and needs replacing.

I enquired with my local Audi dealer who said the last time someone asked for one of these tyres it took them 6 months to source one.

Does anyone know of an alternative (and possibly cheaper) supplier of the Vredestien Space Master tyre? I haven't had any luck so far.
 
Here in the Netherlands any tyre fitter like Kwik fit stocks these kind of things

to add to my comments; I bet you if they had to get the spacesaver wheel in order to make a sale, it would appear in just a few days
 
When i enquired of a Vredenstein dealer a couple of years ago i was told the wheel/tyre was only available from Audi. Tyres should be available alone but are not likely to be stocked and are a specialised (not your usual tyre fitter) job!

1.4 Petrol Special Edition, Ebony Black, grey leather, heated seats, climate, opensky, five spoke alloys for SWMBO (Replaced a 2002 1.4 Petrol SE) Honda Accord Tourer 2.2 iCDTi for me.
 
I contacted a Vredestein dealer today and was told much the same thing as this tyre size is specific to the A2 and would need to be purchased through Audi. So I think I'll try a different Audi dealer in the hope they can source one a bit quicker.
 
anybody discovered that their A2 didnt have locking bolts fitted on the alloy wheels?? I have only just found out. Now gone and bought a set. Dealer said that sometimes Audi didnt fit them as standard on some of their cars not only A2 but across the whole Audi range.
