Do you keep your spare tire in the trunk?

[QUOTE="cempaka, post: 249124, member: 7014"] Keep in mind the puncture can may not be useful if your sidewall gets shredded, which can happen. Better to keep the tire, especially with your travel patterns. My previous car never needed the spare for almost 200,000 km, but I was sure glad I had it when I had a blowout on the way to being a groomsman at my friends wedding. :wink: What you could do is find a smaller thinner spare, which will save space and still allow you to limp another 100km or so. There's always run-flats too heh. But really, if space is needed that much, it's better to just get a removable roof rack with a pod rather than remove the spare tire. [/QUOTE]
