if you carry the second set of rims with you at all times then at least you're being safe, but that's a lot of extra weight. if you simply have a second set at home collecting then what do you have planned for when you get a flat late at night in the middle of nowhere?

do you have insurance? because insurance, too, is "useless" until something happens. just like a spare tire.

LOL. No argument here.

There's no spare in my M roady.
It has a mobility kit; compressor & goop.

Same idea as this one from tirerack... (also avail. at CDN Tire)

^ what happens in the case of a sidewall blowout? does this kit temporarily fix that as well? if so, that's a slick unit...

hahaha and there is always a Tims conveniently located right next to where you have your flat.
In all honestly they do seem to be located everywhere. I live in a small town of 6,000 and there are two Tims here
