I have horrible luck with nails. If there is a nail within 25ft of my tires it will somehow endup in my tire. I have had all 4 tires replaced under my roadhazard warranty in the past 2 years (free tires for me!!:))

Anyways, since I seem to have so many problems with this, I'm really tired of using my donut spare. Has anyone thrown in a fullsize spare? or something like a 14x5" rim with 175/70/14's or something like that?

It would be nice to be able to fit it under the floor w/out making it bulge up.

no luck with the full spare but i can tell you this. Because i was driving may car on a Dorm Construction site for the Millidgeville college girls, I had 5 nails in each tire within 2 days! EKK . I spent 27 bucks on tire repair kits that week alone!

always a good idea to keep a spare i know it may not look the pretteist but be creative. i always keep an sr rim/tire in the back of my 240

i dont think the hole is big enough round to accept a full size --
but if it is ,, build a custom raised floor -- then there will be no bulge

^ then there is always the price of buys another RIM and TIRE. But i guess its worth it when your on a really long trip.
