RE: Has anyone had to use the factory air compressor as a spare?
I haven't used it, but that concern over having a tire failure that it can't help with & possibly having to leave the car sit for awhile in a dangerous place is what prompted me to track down a spare for it. I spoke to my Dodge dealer & learned that a spare for a Charger R/T is the same part # as called for by the Challenger and after hearing he wanted nearly $300 for a spare tire & rim & mounting fee, I called all around & found a junkyard that had a Charger R/T spare rim w/tire for $132 after tax. Bought it & found that it fits FINE in the well under the trunk floor after i pulled out the styrofoam box. I'll try to post a picture if anyone wants to see how it fits in my trunk.
