Help needed - in Scotland and need replacement rear tyre

Guys

I am with some friends driving in Scotland and we have had a puncture on one of our group's 993 C2 at the rear. Unfortunately, the tyre wall is damaged so a replacement tyre is needed.

We have tried one of the national chains in Scotland without any success (they say they definitely don't have stock of the required size - 245/45 -R16). I believe we will struggle to find a replacement on a Sunday.

I know it's a long shot but does anyone have any ideas for a quick/short term replacement that would enable us to carry on using the car for the holiday (until Monday evening)? Options would be a new tyre, a usable second-hand tyre in the right size, perhaps even a tyre and rim we could use and return.

I'm open to suggestions!

regards
Nick

Looks like we might have found a solution, so panic over for the moment.

Post again if the solution falls through - I have a spare 17" rear wheel and tyre, which should have the same circumference as a 16" or I could lend you my two 16" winter rears

A belated thanks for your offer. Ultimately I wasn't able to reconnect to read your post and we elected to have the car recovered to the NorthWest of England.

Your offer was however much appreciated, albeit in retrospect.

regards
