Title: Spare tire
Post by: anthonylee337 on December 16, 2013, 07:53:28 PM
Well after two blowouts and two tows to my dealership i decided to purchase a spare rim and tire. Luckily I found a new aftermarket  rim for $150 and will get my dealer to order me a jack and lug wrench so I don't have to worry about this again. I still can't believe these cars come without a spare and that bullshit pump with fix a flat crap will waste your time-I can leave town with confidence now! What is everybody else's story on this? Keep the speed!

Those sealers really screw up the inside of your tire.  They make a mess if you ever want to patch and could throw your balance of.

You nailed that one-the first flat I pumped that crap in my tire and it got everywhere and didn't seal up the leak! Also I had a noise coming from the tire I had changed and the second time this happened I had a milky discharge coming out the sidewall. I really think it had something to do with my second blowout. Glad that is over!

I would recommend a strong anti biotic. 

Seriously though, the lack of a spare is the reason I would have to say no to the PP package.  This Summer I  Had my first major tire failure (unrepairable) in almost 30 years of driving.  We were in our Buick in the middle of nowhere out of State.  Nothing but a spare was going to save the day.

No antibiotic needed... Monistat suppositories will do it!

Hmm I have the NON PP car with the PP wheels, but I do have a spare. I got the best of both worlds then. Um is the jack and stuff under the tire. I only peaked to see if I had a spare.

Your probably gonna need to see a doctor for you milky discharge. Don't wanna ruin the holidays leaking everywhere.

I'm sure I could get a good space saver spare at a junk yard for $50 if I was that worried about it :)
