Presuming you are talking of Cyprus calling the Auto Rescue here can be problematic .. I have yet see a breakdown vehicle with a cab for 4 or 5 passengers plus the driver.. So I think they would change the wheel for you..
The reason I asked the question was because watching one of these tv shows about motorway police patrols ,a dear lady in a range rover had stopped on the nearside lane with a shredded tyre and a damaged wheel .they coned off the lane then waited around an hour for a recovery truck to arrive . Why not change the wheel in about five minutes and every body can go on their way . Since learnt some new cars are not supplied with a spare .

Possibly like most New cars it doesn't carry a spare; two of our cars don't. We just have a bottle that screws to the valve and inflates the tyre and temporarily seals thelefkes wrote: ↑Tue Feb 26, 2019 1:37 pmThe reason I asked the question was because watching one of these tv shows about motorway police patrols ,a dear lady in a range rover had stopped on the nearside lane with a shredded tyre and a damaged wheel .they coned off the lane then waited around an hour for a recovery truck to arrive .

In Germany it often is the case that the space for the apare tyre is needed for installing a LPG tank (as LPG costs only half as much as petrol).WHL wrote: ↑Tue Feb 26, 2019 1:50 pmWhat country was this in?lefkes wrote: ↑Tue Feb 26, 2019 1:37 pmThe reason I asked the question was because watching one of these tv shows about motorway police patrols ,a dear lady in a range rover had stopped on the nearside lane with a shredded tyre and a damaged wheel .they coned off the lane then waited around an hour for a recovery truck to arrive .

I used to have a Mercedes that had no spare , they provided a tin of tyre repair and an electric air pump . Not much use if the tyre got shredded .
