Spare tire confusion
#22
I always wondered why they called the 'donut' spare a 'space saving spare', because it doesn't save any space. When you take the stock flat tire off and replace it with the space saving spare, you have to store the stock flat tire in the slot the spare came out of .Therefore the slot has to be full size. Caution: be sure to drive less than 50 mph and go less than 50 miles on that donut ! Then they came up with an even better idea: a 'run flat' tire on all four corners would eliminate the need for a spare.
