WTB: Spare wheel

PNWN54 · 04-30-2016, 11:52 AM

Hey guys, looking to ditch my RFT's and need one spare wheel for just in case. Let me know what you guys have. Thanks!

I've got a 135/80/17 (I think this is from a 5 series because I needed a slightly larger Tire, I've got 235/35/19's all around and AWD) that I found on eBay from some place called TJ's Recycling.
Just used the spare today, as a place holder for rotating my tires. I put this guy in my trunk for long road trips (I have AAA so if I ever get a flat in town). The run flats were pure trash so glad to have regular rubber these days.

done this years ago (ditch the rft's). bought this compressor+goo kit: http://www.amazon.com/Slime-70005-Sa.../dp/B001DZFZPG. In 5 yrs did not get to use it (fingers crossed).

Thank you! I'll check them out, I actually need to get my slightly bent rim repaired before new tires go on and need a place holder too. Spare wheel can go long way.

Thanks man, I've heard about this kind of product. But would the sealant accumulate on one side of the tire causing disbalance(I've heard this can happen)? Maybe some brands have fixed this issue because this would be better than lugging a tire in the trunk. lol

Bump! I'll take an emergency spare tire kit if anyone is willing to part with. Thanks!

Thought I'd at least chime in with my emergency kit. Saves a lot of trunk space but doesn't have the full utility of a spare. It's the sacrifice I make, though.

Thank you for the tip. It turns out Michelin offers free towing of up to 150 miles if you get a flat. Which is really cool, but hopefully it will never come to that. lol
