Default What are you guys using for a spare?

Curious to see what everyone is using for a spare wheel/tire combo. I have a 69 Camaro with a 13' Baer up front. Seems like I remember a post about the late model GTO spare working.

Don't have one. If I get a flat I'm calling AAA anyways. Plus I have 18" in the front and 20" in the back. Less weight in the car too.

You could always toss one of these in - Slime Smart Spair



I carried one in my truck in place of my stolen spacesaver for a while, and GM has basically the same thing in the Solstice in lieu of a spare.

You're really going to trust a product that they can't even spell "spare" correctly on the box?

I don't have insane wheels and tires, and doubt you guys want to go plugging your hi perf tires, but I carry a plug kit with me in my s-10. Has saved my butt on more than one occasion

A "fix kit" from GM.. it's what comes in the Solstice and Sky.. it's a small compressor and a can of foam.

Anything worse than that and I have AAA super premium plus towing
