AAA, Hagerty?s free towing, debit/credit cards plus factory mini spare. However since the car has been lowered I?m heavily dependent on the rosary. Still waiting to hear if my guardian angel is up for the tour. :

PINKHEMI will be carrying a full size 245/45/R20 tire only in her challenger, in addition to the donut. It's brand new except for a bit of a flat spot on one part. Would have to be put on the back and "trued up" before going highway speeds. Might help the late model mopar crowd...

How'd it get the flat spot you ask? Well, it involves a brand new challenger, that was on the rear lower part of a transporter, and "may have" "fallen off" "just a little bit" and needed new rear tires. No it wasn't ours. One tire was barely scuffed and that's the one i'm taking. The other is about down to the cords. Someday when these cars become classics I'll ebay it with the full story (and vin hehehe).

I carry the stock spare, 12 volt compressor and a plug kit. After last year's blow out and the factory air can empty,,,the reason for the compressor. And AAA.

No spare either though I have nittos and they are a sponsor. Maybe I'll just call them if I need a tire ;)

James, I'm running Nitto's as well.
With that said, I have a full size spare Crown Vic police steelie. When you have a binge buying spree of steelies, you end up with a few spares.
I thought about packing a pair of my Kumho's to burn off, but I want the trunk space.
Although...the 245/50r16's do smoke nicely...

I don't carry a spare as well. Not that I wouldn't want too, but I can't run anything smaller than a 17" wheel, due to the upgraded Wilwood brakes, and well, I just don't have room for something like that.

My back up you ask? Hagerty Roadside Assistance with FREE towing, Debit/Credit Cards, and USAA Roadside. I'm horrible about carring cash, so don't bother...... ;D

I have seen donut spares on 16" and even 17" wheels...might be worth a look. IIRC, my Magnum's spare was an 18" donut. (Something like a T135/90D18, IIRC)

Yep late model stuff has the same issue you do. So 17 and 18" donut spares do exist. Most of them would be a metric bolt pattern but if you dig you may get lucky.
