Do You Carry A Spare Tire Anymore?
 

Crazy question but I drive a 2001 Oldsmobile Alero with a spare in the trunk beneath the carpet ...

To those that have built boxes or setups in their car, specifically in the trunk, did you have the spare removed or is it still there?
If you kept it, what's the point since it's not accessible?

And if you're aren't carrying it, aren't you afraid of a simple flat?

I'm thinking I'll have to take it out if I get a box made for my vehicle but I'm wondering if I'm just asking for trouble.

Any suggestions?

I've been driving for 22 years and I've never had a flat, so I dont carry a spare, one day it will bite me in the ass, but for now its in the basement.

I have an amp in there. At least when I'm waiting for my tow truck to come pick me up, I'll have some tunes lol.

i keep my spare, i take my car in too many rough places to ever be without one

have one but where it is i can not use the space (under the suv )i was rinning with out it for some time (lbs = mpg ) and did not see the mpg go up

I keep mine in the trunk, I do alot of driving so its a good thing to have, but I have never had a flat in my life!!

I had a 8.5 cubic foot box built into one car and totally ditched the spare... which later bit me in the ass when some slashed one of my tires...

for flats a can of that 'inflate & seal' stuff will usually do the trick :cool:

never had the need to use it, but i have one behind my seat. my dad gave it to me, because he got it for free somewhere... :smokin:

in my spare tire well, i have gummy plugs, air compressor, and a spare tire, gummy's suually work to get the car back out of the woods and onto a road
:)

I took mine out recintly i couldnt fit my box in although i have a jack in my interior that i didnt bother taking out... lmfao


Ethir way i never have had a flat in my life.
