Replacement car part (5,4)

I believe the answer is:

spare tyre

(Other definitions for spare tyre that I've seen before include "Extra fat around the waist" , "Something needed for flat" , "Extra bit of fat" , "Roll of fat round waist" , "one prudently has in car" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
