Do you carry a spare tyre?

[vr2turbo]

Of course it will look horrendous! It will not steer straight also! But only for one trip to repair or buy new tires so I can live with that.

Yes can still fit. The front can still cater for up to 9jj and 245 tires I think while my rear is only 8.5jj on 245. If sport package version, the std rims is already 18x8jj on 225 with still plenty of clearance.

Anyway I'm considering to trade off my space saver spare with one that can fit 4 pots.

But the thing is I see some even running on the space save, some say no time to repair....

Those are people who don't care about cars and do not enjoy driving. If enjoy driving like I do, surely would change to the ideal setup ASAP.

I'm anti run-flats. They have poor grip, noisy, expensive, and did I say expensive?

In that Merc of yours, I'd rather you get a space saver. If possible those self-inflatable types like the one found in the Cayenne

Apart from price, I'd gladly use them. Unless sports car.

my car is cheap2 old car so it comes with spare and i kept them in the car pluss additional 3ft 3/4 inch steel pipe.

on both car i used the spare twice.the blm comes with standard size tyre and changing the tyre is easy on it.

the waja comes with space saving tyre and changing the tyre is harder due to the car weight.if i have the option to choose,i would like my waja to oso carry full size spare.the space saver behave totally identical with full size tyre on straight.i know this because i pushed the car up to 140kmh and felt no different.
however u will feel the different when u want to change direction.at high speed it can be unpredictable.

You pushed a space saving spare to 140kph, are you out of your mind??? Please if you have suicidal tendency, do it on your own in a closed room or somewhere quiet, and do not endanger other people!

There is a warning too on the sidewall if not mistaken. Use up to max 80kph only......hhahahhaha

I remember seeing a Youtube video of a guy running on all 4 space savers to test that 80km/h theory. Interestingly the space savers survived the beatings wor.

 

[Shinjite]

I used to not carry one but now it is better for me to just in case anything happens.

I've seen one video on youtube as well, they swap all 4 tyre of an C63 amg to space saver ones. Powerslide all day long

 

[esthapo]

I don't have spare tire in my car as factory standard comes with RFT but I hate RFT bcoz of their stiffness so change all tire to normal tires...but I do have:
1. Puncture seal kit with acdc pump
2. A can of tire sealant
3. A 2-tonne hydraulic jack

Space saver tire will take up lots of space in my tiny trunk...worst case scenario tire explode I just call the PLUS helpline or AAM....I can't afford to give the limited space to the space saver tires

If no spare how can they help? I thought they come help you change tyres, right? So if no spare they cannot do anything also.
Like my ex colleague, her car died in morning traffic on NPE. Called me because I stay nearby, but by the time I arrived, NPE tow trunk came. They jump start for her, but by the moment they remove the jumper cable the car shut down, meaning the alternator konk. So tow truck help her tow her car to somewhere not obstructing traffic as they cannot do anything to help. She then inform me where she was. I took my car battery and fitted to her car and hers to mine.
Her car will run on my battery power until we reach the mechanic where the alternator can be changed....

Where can I buy new tyre for my space saver wheel? I think it would be wise to change it since it's already 20 years old. :rolleyes:

As far as I know outside tyre shops don't sell those tyres. Probably need to go check with SC.....
