I'm installing a stereo system and it'll be a cleaner install with the spare tire removed. I've actually never used the spare tire in the last 18 years I've driven but I guess you never know. Is it better to just get a flat repair kit in case of an emergency?

I dont use it , there are some great stereo set up using that space , search it

I don't keep my spare tire in the trunk unless I am traveling a distance from home. That thing weighs a ton.

That there is true so as the jack and the tools

and you will probably blow a tire as soon as you remove it. LOL J/K... I have never used mine as well ( thankfully ). I do keep a flat repair kit in my trunk and I have a discount tire 2 miles from my house and one extremely close to the office . Should be fine. I wonder if it will help corner exit oversteer if I remove that weight on the track

With all the crap on New England roads I couldn't see driving without a spare.

Some German cars now come without a spare. Instead, they supply a puncture repair kit and a compact 12V air compressor to pump up the tyre after the repair.

BTW doesn't the IS F manual say that the emergency-only spare can only be used on the rear (or is it the front? I don't have the manual handy.). So what do you do if you get a puncture at the front (or rear?)? Maybe it's time to get a puncture repair kit and a compressor instead of that spare wheel.

a lot of them do that. bmw m6 for sure is one of them. i know they come as an option for some but its hard to fit a full size spare in some of these cars.

If there is no spare with the car i"m so scare of blowing tires on highway. Some new Acura models now have no spare tires come with.

I used to keep mine all the time, until I realized the spare didn't clear the front 2-piece rotors I have on. I could probably get around it if I really cared, but since I don't daily the car, anymore, I've just removed it.

dont these repair kits ruin the TPMS sensor when you fill the tire up?
