My car gets a flat at least once a year, it's sort of a nail magnet, it seems to have developed a taste for them. I've only had to use the spare twice, the rest of the time I was lucky enough to have an air compressor with me; I wouldn't consider a trip without it.

That sounds almost good Martin shipping from Canada has gotten extremely expensive. Will you remove tire? Hate to pay for additional weight just to remove it here.Originally posted by snowbird View Post
Bill: Have a 21 spoke wheel that I would part with . Would be good for a spare . How is $ 50.00 ? + shipping . ( Would need to remove the old tire . )
Was hoping to get it before leaving for the NO trip.

I would have the old tire removed of course . Also makes for a smaller box . Would you know the weight of a single rim, then could calculate the shipping . Have not found that much of a change in shipping packages from here to the U.S. Or, you could come and pick it up . Nice drive .Originally posted by wcoates View Post

We had a NM wheel weighed by UPS. The weight was about 24 pounds.

Just get in your yacht (boat) and will meet you on this side of the lake . Long point or Turkey point . First I will have the tire removed and rim checked to be sure it is not bent or anything . Was gong to ship by U.S. Post / Canada post . Could have Fedx pick up and ship collect . No idea how they charge . Keep in mind, this rim is not like the nearly new ones we exchanged before . It came from the 2002 that I got all the parts from . Only one worth saving .Originally posted by wcoates View Post

The five tire rotation was typically done with bias ply tires. Changing the direction of travel on radial tires causes belt separation.Originally posted by JerriLampon View PostBack in the old days, the spare tire was rotated with the others to extend the life of all tires. That must no longer be chic what with the advent of the smaller spare.
