Spares for Winter
I've installed a nice set of Blizzak's for winter and am now thinking about spares (better late than never). Options appear to be:
- Rely on Roadside Assistance as flats are rare - Get leak repair gunk and a 12 volt pump and keep it in the trunk - Buy a temporary use spare o Who has these for sale that will fit the 135? - Put a summer wheel/tire in the trunk for a spare o Can I use a front wheel/tire on the back as a spare? Any reasonable options I'm missing here? What is everyone else doing?

I have chosen your option 2 and will rely on 1 if necessary or if I'm somewhere where it's un-safe to attempt the repair.

I have non-RFT Blizzak WS 60s for winter. I plan to rely on Option 2, plus a tire plug kit, which I would try first. Option 1 if Option 2 fails.
One note on RFTs - I understand they can be repaired like any other tire if you do not drive on them after they go flat. If you take advantage of the RFT feature and drive home on them most tire repair shops, especially dealers, will not repair them due to fear the side walls may have been damaged/weakened by driving on them. |
