That is a good idea.
With my experience of punctures I will never get rid of the spare. That said trying to accommodate the punctured wheel is a bit of a pain.
Thanks Alan. I agree with that, not sure Ann Marie would like getting the bus home as the punctured wheel sits in the passenger seat!
Wife and punctured wheel on bus is best solution; keeps the leather clean!
The best solution is she takes the wheel on the bus to the nearest tyre dealer, but that might be pushing my luck a little.Wife and punctured wheel on bus is best solution; keeps the leather clean!
Might be some unintended consequences though, but nothing chocolate and flowers can't fix!!
My 21 year old spare quite happily made the 300 mile trip from the lakes back home to Surrey last year. At 50 MPH limit there is not much to worry about. My spare wheel and tyre are regularly checked.
You (obviously) check how old the tyre is?
Umm, obviously not! If the tyre had blown out (it's very old and will be perished), what would your insurance company have to say?
You're right on the money there.
You could put a 175 /65 on the rim, and chuck it in the boot, or lengthen the droppers on the basket by 10mm to accomodate it. You have a hiway speed spare then.
I like that idea.
It still fits in the plastic tub too, so If you do chuck it in the boot it wont make a mess...
In the uk that would still be classed as a space saver ( due to different size across axle) and subject to a 50 mph speed limit.
