How many people don't carry a spare tire?

Jbwrecked · 01-30-2013, 01:49 PM

^damn straight same here. Along with a torque wrench as well

Personally I'd rather have the spare just incase instead of waiting and paying a bill or two for towing lol

Thanks for the replies. I wanted to make this a poll but couldn't do it. I was considering taking mine out for room on weekend trips but I feel better having it with me. I'm thinking of adding AAA if its not too expensive. It's just nice to have the extra piece of mind in case you really need some help.

No spare for me except long trips

Im guessing weight reduction sub set up maybe.

I carry a spare because my Z needs a place for the Bose subwoofer to lay.

No, I just put a crapload of washers that I put plastidip on to absorb rattles

Weight, and we don't care

I'd put the spare back in if I was going out of town, anywhere within 50-100 miles... Meh... AAA, or car insurance towing, or Nissan towing

i keep a spare, i've been caught too many times in the past on a road trip without...end of road trip.

TerribleONE · 02-01-2013, 06:13 PM

No spare for my truck.. and I plan on taking the one out of the Z as soon as I get it back. what is AAA for?

edub370 · 02-01-2013, 10:12 PM

Imo you're reducing weight in the wrong area. Increasing the front weight bias doesn't help in performance. Our cars are already jittery enough in mid corner bumps.

I agree. A battery relo should be done at the same time as removing the spare!

Lol, you never asked where out batteries were! Lol

I'll relocate the battery in a few weeks

My donut and rear interior trim have been removed (weight reduction). I would never consider run flat tires, only good sticky summer or DOT drag tires. I have a few local towers numbers in my phone if I ever would need a tow.
