spare wheel or sub

[Sideways Danny]

On the phone to GmasterT, and he's fitting his sub to the s13, (cos it's not dark or anything) aparently it looked a lot smaller in the saab, but seems to have enough room for an A5 piece of paper in the *****, anyway it won't fit if the spare is in so what do you think he should keep?

[Deacon]

with a sub installed a spare is pretty useless anyways

[Sideways Danny]

mine's not, it sits to one side and spare access is normal

it's just he has a Rocky 15 in a coffin sized box, and he won't downsize

:no: :D

Ive just realised, even though Ive relocated the spare to the back seat (for now) I dont even have a jack for the car :annoyed:

:wack:

[GmasterT]

no, but if you have one it has to be legal tread

agreed :)

spare wheel is not a legal requirement, but if you dont have one you are meant to have a tin of tyre weld as an alternative. Audi A2's dont have spares, and iirc smart cars dont either :)

Whats tyreweld then?

[James23]

Its an aresol can which reinflates the tyre and normally seals the puncture hole, meant to get you home not permanent fix. Its in all petrol stations.

[Rude Dog]

That rings a bell. Do you pump it through the valve then? Is so does it wreck the valve as well?

[James23]

It does go through the valve, not sure whether it ruins it or not. I'd guess not, but a new valve is cheap so it might.

Thanks for the clarification Mr James23:thumbs:
