Message	I have AAA so that covers me for 150miles around from home. However on longer drives (1-3 days on the road for Zcon for example) it wouldn't take up as much room as a full size 17" wheel. Once you get to the convention you can just leave it in the room for the week. I just have no interest in breaking down on the road and not having a spare wheel in the middle of the night some place. I have StopTech brakes from & rear so the stock spare has been useless for a long time and I took it out years ago. I even tried to stack it out w. some large spacers but I couldn't get it out far enough to not hit the calipers.
