Spare Tire

[1989se-i]

Just curious: If i removed my spare tire and jack from the trunk, would it make a noticible difference in the performance of my car?

nope, but you will notice that you don't have spare when you have flat tire.

I'm not sick, I feel perfectly fine! I took the spare out and bent the plastic thing under the carpet so I can have more trunk space under the CASKET SIZED Sub Box :LOL for performance you would rather want some essential weight in the trunk, you don't wanna go into a corner with a car that has more weight up front, and non in the back.

[AZmike]

I know, never put more than a few gallons of fuel into your car. Gasoline is about 7-8 lbs/gallon. There, you just saved 70-100 lbs.

Just don't leave town.... :lol

[2Fast_Fiero]

LOL Mike!

i heard fix a flat f**ks up ur alignment..or somethign like that.....becuase the goo hardens like a crust in the tire and offsets the ballance. Even though it stops the leak it still isnt even, and isnt weighted equally on the other tire....i dunno..somthing like---hard trying to explin what the guy told me.

[3G Jester]

ALSO.....if u wanna save serious weight....to hell with real tires.....just go out and buy 3 more 'donut' spares.....throw all 4 of em on. that way ull alwas have 4 spares (hahaha) AND.....ull have smaller wheels...and therefore less weight to lug around.

Just dont go over 45 mph.

[sickboy]

you could also do some push ups and situps and run 10 miles a day to shave off those extra pounds
