This thread is to be all about spare tires. Given the age of many of our cars, our spares are probably due for replacement. What have you done, or how have you addressed this? Can be anything from, "I had to add a spare to my SRT car that didn't come with one," to, "I had to buy a new T125/90-18 to replace the old one," or anything else relevant...
I know that the recommnedation is to not buy tires older than ~5 years due to UV damage, but how long should a spare last in the trunk or under the car? There isn't any UV exposure there.
Thanks for the links. For the record, I didn't like ABS brakes when they first came out either, but accept them now.
Another prospective technology is a "spoked" tire. This has a series of flexible "truss" structures in it, and doesn't use air pressure at all... will post a link when I find it. http://auto.howstuffworks.com/tweel-airless-tire.htm
here it is.
