Does anyone know if removing the spare tire will mess with our good weight balance?

 

I would seriously doubt it. I don't think it weighs that much to matter. It's probably the same difference between a full tank of gas and an empty one. Mayb it'll give you better times at the track. I wouldn't really recommend it cuz well... you mite get a flat and need it.

 

no just take the **** out.. u have that infiniti towing/serivce card thing for the first year anyways

 

Isn't the roadside assistance valid for the term of the warranty?

 

^ That is what i thought...

 

Yes, for the full 4Y/60K

 

Thanks Plus I have that tire and rim insurance too

 

The spare weighs 45 lbs., it's an anchor. Just get a light weight battery if your worried about balance.

 

There is a big thing people forget when they talk about taking the rear tire out. The rear tire, in addition to wieght balance and convience, is a safety feature. Not if you get a flat, but if you get rear-ended. The tire is placed in such a way as to absorb some impact. You never know when you're going to get into an accident, especially rear ended. Leave it in there, it's about 45 lbs. When you think about in reference to other things, a gallon of gas (at about 72 degrees) is 6 pounds, so a full tank is about 120 lbs, golf bag with clubs is about 25-30 lbs, a buddy in your car is 185 lbs, a fat chick from the bars because it was last call and nothing else was left....you get the idea

4/60?? I thought it was 3/36

 

Basic warranty is 4yrs/60k, and the extended is 7yrs/100k if that's what you're asking. I don't know how long the roadside assistance lasts but I would guess the life of the warranty as well.

 

45lbs won't do much, just leave it in

 

The ubiquitous donut is so light, it won't be a factor...It can't be more than 25 lbs... lol.
The conventional spare is more like 50 lbs. and would have more of an effect.
