[Hotsoup]

Hi MCFs,

Any comment?

I do. I don't see a need to have it taken out. Did that for a short period of time with my previous car...but no significant improvement to FC.

For me,i took out my spare tyre as i have sub woofer custom fitted on my spare tyre hole.

Anyway,singapore so small.Anything can just call friends for help mah.

 

Unless you frequent Malaysia,then its best to keep the spare tyre.For me,i keep a punture kit in the car just in case.

yes i do keep the spare tyre in the car..

u nvr noe what will happen...and won't improve the fc that much also

I keep it in my car because I have nowhere to store my spare tyre.

For me, i have been keeping it inside my ride ever since i started zooming many years back

If your ride is an SUV, the spare tire will act as an extra buffer in the event of a rear collision. Saw some pics of accidents involving SUVs and saloons, the spare tyre covers of these SUVs got slight dents and scratches whereas the saloon cars' front very jialat-ly caved in.

 

Anyhow, unless your tyre is the really big and heavy type, I doubt it will create any significant savings in your wallet by leaving it at home.

ya quite true hor

[Nitekid]

I threw it away the day i got my car. haha

Yes i keep my spare tyre in my car and it once save me when i had a flat tyre.

Ya...we dun really have a car boot behind (SUV) so the spare tyre acts as a buffer and extra protection for the rear passengers

[Hotsoup]

I think i'll modify my Colt plus and use the spare tyre as SUV(behind the rear)

[Chickenfarm]

That is going to affect your FC alright

[Starengine]

i keep it in the car, although i don't know how to change...

btw, the spare tyre also need to pump air every a few months, rite? didn't touch it for long time..

1. It is important to have spare tyres when in Malaysia. In Singapore, it is not always a necessity, just pay and get thing done.

 

2. I have a thought of getting the same size rim and tyres just like the four that I'm using but it will not fit.

The last tyre changed was more than 10 years ago. if situation arises, i also dun know how to change liao

[Starengine]

what will happen if use 3 bigger size rims&tyres and the spare smaller one together?

For me, I sold my spare tyre at brand new condition. Usually can sell at around

$80 to $100 (225x65/17) and find a free one, same size that other ppl take out to

change to new tyre. Usually those old one is not in good condition but I only use

it for spare.

 

U keep your new spare and never use it, IMHO just waste money.
