I go the dealer to give me a free rubber boot mat. Parts I've added are;

Tail pipe from Halfords....

I also bought a full size alloy wheel to use as a spare (£165) plus tyre (another £160) special valve (£25) and fitting and balancing. I don't trust those cans of sealant and they are useless if the sidewall gets split or the hole is too big. Back in the Spring the 225/55/19 Kumho tyres were unavailable in the UK. After a few e-mail and phone calls to Dodge UK and Kumho UK I was told that they would be impoting some tyres in for stock. The tyre I got was direct from Dodge UK but where they got it from is anyones guess. I think that's why it cost £160. I think the price from a tyr dealer would be about £120ish. It might be worth talking to your neares tyre dealer just to see what the availability is now. Back in April a lady from Kumho said 'If you want a tyre we can order one'. I asked how long that would take. 'About three months' (!).

Yeah, great news if I was sitting at the side of the motorway with an unrepairable flat!
