Spare wheel ideas for S2 elise?????

[K-Serious]

in these dark wet times being stranded is more oof a hassle therefore i am considering the above...
ideas??

Boot rack might be the only way to go.

Less hassle would be breakdown assitance and a mobile phone.

Front and rear wheels are different sizes, you'd need to carry both. Tyres are also directional IIRC.

Have fun

The spare tyre wouldn't need to be directional though and could be a size in between the front and rear.

Still dont think its worth it though.
(I have a space saver for the Griff but still carry 2 cans of tyre weld instead as wouldn't want to be driving using a bike wheel!)

Your b est bet is to ditch that awful can of sealant and go to BMW and buy a tyre patch kit for their bikes.

Works on big bikes, works on small cars :up:

Join the RAC, keep a book in the car for something to do while you wait.

If I punctured it would go straight on the back of a wagon to the nearest place I could get new Yoko's.

Simply not worth the hassle.

I know the tyres are directional but this would not matter for a slow five mile drive to a tyre pplace.

Also, changing a lightweight style spare is less hassle than patching up in the pissing rain.

Surely as long as the wheel fits on the hub and is aduequate diameter, a single lightweight-style spare you often see on other cars would do??

It would.
My TVR Griff has a space saver (front and rear wheels are differnt sizes too and space savre has non directional tread so it doesnt matter which side it goes).

However, Id rather not use a 125 width tyre (or whatever silly size it is) where a 245 one should be. Could end up resulting in more trouble, even if driving slow.

So the best answer, IMO, is to carry a breakdown recovery card and a couple of big cans of tyre weld.
