RE: [DML] A new great spare tire debate?

To carry the flat tire, you can either place it in a large trash bag (that
you brilliantly stashed in your car) and carry it in the front passenger
seat or you can strap it down on your luggage rack.

Subject: [DML] A new great spare tire debate?


Relax people. My D had no spare. I needed something to fit a particular
well, a particular bolt pattern, and two different sized brake calipers (14"
rims won't clear the rear). Went to the junkyard and found suitable rim (no
offense to VW people, but they apparently weren't big sellers in rural North
Carolina -- junkyard didn't have one). Bought a brand new tire to fit. FWIW,
my rubber is brand new and designed to be a primary tire.

The *REAL* question should be: OK, I've got the spare mounted on the rear,
now what do I do with the flat 15"?
