Be careful with these generic space savers.
Don,t have the details with me at the mo but the generic ones were not the correct rolling diameter.
I ended up getting a VW space saver off ebay and the correct size tyre to match our 245/40R19 rolling diameter.

Thanks for that, I didn't think of that. If you do know what they are please pop it on as I can message the business selling them. :)

I'm in the process of buying a hybrid Formentor which, as you know, has no option of temporary spare wheel. I'm now in search of a solution to replace the inflation-kit they supply - I'm planning to get a temporary spare-wheel.
It seems that the T125/80/R18 temporary spare would be ok to replace the 245/45/R18 fitted on the car from factory. One can use a tool like this for comparison:

Now the main issue I have is the fact that I'm thinking about keeping the spare on the left or right side of the trunk, in a vertical position, fixed with some elastic strap (I'd hate keeping it horizontally flat inside the trunk). The problem is that such a spare has a 658 mm (25.9") which I'm almost convinced is bigger than the useful height of the e-Hybrid Formentor trunk.
Do you guys have any other solution/suggestion?

I know Audi had some expandable spare-tire solution, but that one is too wide - really inappropriate for the Formentor trunk:
