Replying to: milkey (Mar 11, 2008 3:55 pm) Up here if it's late at night and you don't have a cell you might walk 10+ miles to get to a phone. I don't use cell phones. No need for them. But if I had RFT's I have to add the monthly cost to the car. Best off buying a Spare tire but it's a shame the car makers have stopped putting donut spares in so many cars. I think I'll give the Mazda dealer a call tomorrow and check it out. I know for a fact that the Honda S2000 has a spare tire. I saw it in the trunk when I bought my 2008 Civic Si. Shame the S2000 is over $30K!

As long as it works out for you. I can't justify the price of a Honda S2000 for $35K MSRP but it has a decent trunk and a spare tire. Very sweet to drive. Like my Civic Si but a lot more power. Shame the price is like $15K more!  I blew a rim and a tire on my 1999 Miata in the rain. The rain filled a 14 inch deep pothole. Bye bye rim and tire, really bent it! If hadn't had a spare it would have been a 3 mile walk to a pay phone and no idea how long for a tow truck to show up. I did have AAA, but it was around 9pm and pouring pouring rain! I just don't see the original spare taking up all that much room in the car I had. I wonder why they changed it? |

Just make sure you know the size you need, and the bolt pattern. I think it's 4x100mm for mine, but other model years may be different. |
