>donut spares are meant to be good for no more than 80km distance or some shit like that
what? shit, then i might as well get that fricking foam you spray into your flat tire and just have that instead.
pretty sure on the tyre itself there's a sticker or text on it that says something like that. speed limited to 80 kph and 80 km distance or something like that.
Might as well just use a full size spare; include it in tyre rotations so you can go longer between changes, and more importantly (especially for 4wds) even the wear across all tyres, reducing the stress on your diff.

hmm, mine only says max 80 km/h.. but i do have some tire foam too just in case. i will check out if there is a limit on how long you can drive with it. because if it is, ill get two bottles of foam instead. shit.
>writes the generic wheel size rather than the in depth tyre size which would've given the information needed to figure out rolling diameter >calls others doofus
If the tyre rolling diameter is different, say the rolling diameter is different, don't say the wheel size is different and be surprised when someone informs you that a different sized wheel can still end up with an equivalently sized tyre rolling diameter.

>doubling down on the moronation by claiming he thinks two different size tires will have the same overall diameter, despite my original post clearly implying that I know they do not
Should we specify the treadwear and mileage too, so you can autistically calculate the difference between the mounted tires and unused spare?
And finally: >tyres
Maybe you can burn them for warmth this winter.

post your car make, model and year. I will explain how it works.
>call roadside assistance
so you'll be back on the road in 1-2 hours instead of the 5-10 minutes it would take to jack it up and swap the spare. thanks anon, very cool

Masculinity and security aren't even the same fricking thing since plenty of women out there can change a tire.
Please continue to project your beta energy onto us.
If that extra little bit of weight makes that much of a difference to you, your shit is a frickin bucket. Something tells me you've never seen a track in your life.
because i like driving fast on twisty roads. noticing a pretty sizeable overlap between people who dont care about how much their car weighs and people who dont care how much they themselves weigh (fat)
I drive around with 3 spare tires in the back of my shitbox because I wouldn't be surprised if I get 3 flats in one trip due to work out tires. I don't think it affects fuel economy much. 01 Jetta tdi that averages well over 50mpg highway
not too long ago I had some madlad in a cruze zip around me and speed off into the distance driving on a spare on the highway. homie must have been doing at least 160kmh
those tiny compressors are useless, took 20 minutes to fill up a toyota mr2 tire and then it almost caught fire filling up the second one because it's a piece of shit
better get a $15 bicycle floor pump
i dont know how you fail at buying chinkshit that hard. Ive used my 12v compressor to do all 4 truck tires to 40psi and it was just a bit hot but not terrible. Doesnt take that long either.
I used to not care that I didn't have one because I have AAA so frick it, but I learned the hard way that having AAA doesn't help when you get a flat in the desert and there's no cell service for 40 miles in either direction
Yes, I used to drive 250 miles a day for 2 years and I didn't once get a flat. My biggest issue was rock chips and shredded tire bits fricking up my bumper.
I don't think a spare tire is necessary in the modern world, unless you live out in the middle of nowhere.
Any highway, city or small town has at least a couple tow trucks that are on call, it's 80 bucks CAD to get towed usually.
If any of you have ever actually driven with a spare tire, you would know that their rubber is hard as frick (because it's been sitting in the back of your car for 15 years), the tread is garbage and are almost always a different size to your normal tires.
It's honestly way more dangerous to drive with a spare than it is to wait on the side of the road for half an hour for a tow.
This is supposed to be the automotive enthusiast boars m8 - driving with a hard old tyre might be dangerous for stacey while she's texting on her phone and doing her makeup in the mirror but it shouldn't be dangerous at all for us.

i drive around without ac or power steering or passenger seat or interior paneling. why they hell would i add all that weight back with a spare tire? do you think i am some sort of a moron?
they fricking suck, you can't actually drive on them at any considerable speed or distance.
terror is having barely enough gas to get home and no places are open nearby to get air at 2 am on a holiday weekend, because you need air to drive a runflat over 40 mph safely and im still 60 miles from home

Fact:
The car was balanced with the spare tire kit included.
Spare is optional these days, so the car is balanced without it for emissions and fuel economy purposes
So is your fat body.
>15 inch wheels
>14 inch spare
It's going to be fun if I ever need it.
its the overall wheel diameter with the tire that matters genius, not the size of the rim.
the size of the brakes matter too and having the right nuts/bolts
>why yes I carry around a spare designed for a completely different car with smaller brakes which also has different wheel nuts
Based gigachad (moron)
Yeah doofus, and they're different. Go figure.

Ok so say that lmao

People drive on donut spares all the time, a 1 inch difference is nothing.
I drive a f150 on 35s so I couldn't change the tire if I got a flat even If I did keep a spare in the bed
Why not?
he's too weak to lift tire up. I can't lift up hilux tire how heavy that shit is.
How heavy are they?
Hilux, I guess around 50 kilos. It's ungodly heavy.
>50 kilos
How much is that in American?
about 1/4 the weight of an average adult american
it depends on the wheel, I'd guess ~90lbs for a standard size
significantly more if you're running on like 30" brodozer donks
I keep a 37 spare on my SUV and it’s no trouble to change out - I don’t get what’s stopping you??
lining up the lugs on frickhuge tires while you lift them is a massive pain in the ass
so lift it just high enough to line the lugs up while the tire is still on the ground

yes, wristlet, changing a tire is a pain in the ass in general. You don't have to do it fast, you just have to get it done. Fricking man up.

If that extra little bit of weight makes that much of a difference to you, your shit is a frickin bucket. Something tells me you've never seen a track in your life.
Why do you all care about weight? Are you driving a shitty 3 cylinder?
absolutely no idea
because i like driving fast on twisty roads. noticing a pretty sizeable overlap between people who dont care about how much their car weighs and people who dont care how much they themselves weigh (fat)
I drive around with 3 spare tires in the back of my shitbox because I wouldn't be surprised if I get 3 flats in one trip due to work out tires. I don't think it affects fuel economy much. 01 Jetta tdi that averages well over 50mpg highway
By the time a shitbox doesn’t still have its factory spare it’s probably not driving much further than 10 miles from the ghetto is resides anyhow.
I drive a Jaguar. A puncture or blow out is the thing least likely to prevent me getting to my destination.
>he doesnt always drive with spare
I've busted out the original spare right now, from 1983, it's like driving on ice every time I turn left.
not too long ago I had some madlad in a cruze zip around me and speed off into the distance driving on a spare on the highway. homie must have been doing at least 160kmh
I have a spare, but the previous owner lost the lug wrench.
With the weight savings I got a tire patching kit and a 12v air compressor. Have yet to use it
those tiny compressors are useless, took 20 minutes to fill up a toyota mr2 tire and then it almost caught fire filling up the second one because it's a piece of shit
better get a $15 bicycle floor pump
i dont know how you fail at buying chinkshit that hard. Ive used my 12v compressor to do all 4 truck tires to 40psi and it was just a bit hot but not terrible. Doesnt take that long either.
Manually filling up a car tire? Frick that
>Manually filling up a car tire? Frick that
Takes a couple minutes. I used to to it every day before driving to work (don't ask)
ok? Id rather plug in a compressor and sit in the ac than kill myself on the side of the road in 120 degree weather
it wasn't my compressor or my car
I think it was the shittiest $10 compressor
>Using an emergency compressor to fill your new set of tires
That's not how you're supposed to use it jackass.
I keep tire slime, tire plugs, and a pump in my trunk. Spare takes up room I need for my subwoofer.
N
>Americans drive big truggs
>can't keep a spare wheel because muh weight
You were all dropped as a child
>A spare
>not driving with a full set of space savers in the trunk
You might was well get AAA.
It's extra weight. It wouldn't fit anymore anyway since I've got bigger wheels and brakes than stock.
I used to not care that I didn't have one because I have AAA so frick it, but I learned the hard way that having AAA doesn't help when you get a flat in the desert and there's no cell service for 40 miles in either direction
yeah no one can really help a moron like you bro
Do you frickers even drive? It's so easy to get a flat tire when you ACTUALLY drive and not just zoom zoom a couple of miles.
Or just don't drive so close to the curb/shoulder like a dumbfrick. Avoid driving where debris is likely to end up.
Yes, I used to drive 250 miles a day for 2 years and I didn't once get a flat. My biggest issue was rock chips and shredded tire bits fricking up my bumper.
I've had one flat tyre in 10 years and I do 100 miles a day 6 days a week

but that's not what the post said homosexual
lawyer talk. I used a dounut for a year or more when I was a student.
see
my spare tire is from 1997
Mine is from 1978 Yokohama, Japan assembly line. I have a more recent 2014 spare tire and wheel now cuz I actually needed to use it recently.
>you will need one if you don’t have one and visa versa

the next time i get a flat tyre will be the first time i get a flat tyre
face it OP the only thing your driving is your finger up your arse
i drive around without ac or power steering or passenger seat or interior paneling. why they hell would i add all that weight back with a spare tire? do you think i am some sort of a moron?

AAA, asshat. I just click a button on the app, and some dude shows up with a tiltbed and takes my ass home or wherever else I want to go with my car.
My spare doesn't clear my brakes, it's literally dead weight even if I get a flat
Spare tires are like guns. Better to have it and not need it then need it and not have it. Carry guns and spare tires everywhere you go
I can have it towed to my workplace for free.
