What have you done to your Ecoboosted vehicle today?

[Gjkrisa]

I like the weight saving and little extra space of the tire Inflator all cars I've had has not space for full spare and a non super custom subwoofer box.

Patching a tire is super easy and takes less space. But is probably not as quick as installing a spare since you have to wait for tire to air up.

But I've had bad luck getting punctures in the side walls though last 4 tires before this last has been a sidewall puncture.

The weight difference on a 4400lbs car of having a spare vs not is going to make little difference on the street...

And if you are tracking it and trying to get a better  E/T then just take it out at the track.

IMHO...I prefer not dealing with patch kits and tire slime on the side of the road.

I like the full size spare idea as well, but the little reading I did said the stock 20" would not fit in the wheel well?

Hmmm I would need to check... I would think as sensitive as these drive trains are the spare would be the same height.. admittedly I have yet to use it so I assumed it was the same height at least... width maybe the issue...

That's where the road side assistance comes to play.  Z

[Gjkrisa]

No need for roadside assistance for a flat unless maybe your to crypled ( I do that mean for this to be to incentive) to do the work yourself and on a 6 hr road trip with a 3month old an HR out of town I don't know how quick someone would of gotten to me although the thought came to mind as I needed to keep filling my tire till I got someplace with a patch.

But I learned I will travel with Patches and two air pumps. Almost takes space of a spare but I can split it in half if I need to

Yeah Rolling Diameter is the key since we are awd.  I would take a skinnier tire with no issue, the goal for me is to get back on the road and to my destination without worrying about checking a patch or possibly leaky repair job every few miles.

Not inflated, but deflated the 20 should fit in the spare wheel well.  So you would still need a pump, but you'd be rolling golden after.

That is a do-able option.  You would have to include a jack/lug wrench, so I could see pulling the spare, pump and tools out and plug the pump in and have it cranking away to get a headstart while you remove the bad tire...

Not today, but a week ago, I ordered a set of PPE catted downpipes from EPP and a tune from AJP. Hopefully get the x4 in the next day or so to get a couple revisions in before the downpipes are made in about a month and a half. Pretty excited about it.

Sounds like a permagrin is on its way!! Congrats!!

You will be happy with both. My catted PPE took just over 5 weeks, but man are they a fine piece of craftsmanship.  Can't beat AJP for tuning either, great guy and keeps you informed on what is going on as you progress.

Welcome to the party pal!

[FearlessAZ]

I have more than a few good things about both. I am happy that PPE is local so I can go pick them up as soon as they are ready. Have about 5-7 weeks left though. They are super busy and I believe were in the process of moving around.

Correction: x4 came today
