ORIGINAL: BadStratRT
i mean, if im driving from detroit to pittsburgh, then yes, i have a spare..but i dont even know why, because my sub box covers the entire spare, and its a nightmare to get the spare out..if i got a flat, AAA would be towing my car home...and we use rentals to go on long trips, except things like the nationals...anyways, half of the jacks that come with cars now are so damn cheap, that they wont lift the car if youre on any angle...they just buckle.
ironically, the last time that we ran the RT,i forgot to take the jack,tools (including some extras), the spare and the subs out...
and i run expensive yokohama tires...if i get a flat, im going to be livid...and as for the blow out (knock on wood) ive only ever seen it happen to cheap tires...
Well I was refering to how the manufacturer would reduce weight. I know many of them are offering run-flat tires instead of offering a spare, which I think is insane. Even if you have AAA, if you are in the middle of nowhere and you don't have any cell phone service, your still screwed.
