Got rid of RFs, Spare tire Options?
Just made the switch out of RFs. However as many have asked before, what is the best option in terms of when I get a flat?
Should I invest in a tire fix kit? or a slime kit? or Get a spare tire? I currently have 18" wheels, but all the spare tires I see are 17". Will that be a problem if I get 17" spare while the other wheels are 18"? Do they make 18" spares? Thanks for your advice. EDIT: Has anyone ever used fix-a-flat? Product description says TPMS safe... Slime doesn't mention TPMS safe.

17s should be fine if the spare has close to the same overall rolling diameter tire on it. Cars with 19s or 20s usually don't come with that size spare. Just a smaller size with a bigger profile tire.

http://www.getbmwparts.com/partlocat...catalogid=4462 or just get AAA like me. |

Fail sauce on AAA.. I pay $2.50 every 6 months for roadside from my insurance company and they towed me for free.
