For those people without a spare tire, what would you do if you get a flat?
Does AAA rent out spare tires?

I've had a tire shred on me before... it wasn't flat, in fact, my TPMS never turned on. Alignment was good, just that it was a bad tire. I heard it in time to pull over before it completely shredded apart.

They attempt to repair and reinflate the tire. If they can't, they tow you to a tire place who sells you a new tire.


That's why i carry a spare. AAA has taken 1-2 hours to show before. My time is important, and it takes me 10 mins to swap a tire. I can do it with my eyes shut. I even carry a socket and 32" long breaker bar for my lug nuts so i can get them off easily. I also carry a small hydraulic bottle jack.

I don't have any place for a spare right now but would like to figure out a way to keep one when I re-do my trunk to move my amp rack

Same here bro I keep an impact wrench, torque wrench, breaker bar, jack stands, and floor jack in my trunk pretty much all the time. Even though I ride 19's on my car daily (sold the stock 17's not too long ago), I still keep my full-size spare in case of emergency. Around here in Florida, you can run across many pieces of sharp debris left behind by landscaper trucks, construction vehicles and the like

I alwa keep my spare. Weight?? Who cares unless you're racing everyday. Does anyone know if the stock 17" can fit where the little donut goes? I just thought of using one of my stockers for my spare since they are just collecting dust. I guess i can just go check tomorrow when it warms up enough to go play with my car

Yes it fits. That's what the full size spare is...a stock 17" wheel. So basically you get 5 OEM wheels with the Premium C package
