Re: Does anybody remove spare tire for more trunk space?

Ok guys, you've convinced me that was a bad idea. I'm just going to buy a luggage rack for when we travel, much smarter.

That's my thought too. I don't think amy roadside assistance guy will do more than put yor spare on along the road, esp a car like this

Dot mentioning the need for replacing a 10 year old spare tyre: what about my four 8 year old original tyres on my 2004 PCR (driven only 11.000 miles), need replacement as well?
If so: what tyre-type/-brand is most recommended?
Thx

(note: not all tyres available in Europe, remembering Frits mentioning that his original tyres drove better)

Hans,

Your tire size is P235/50R17 95V. If you want Michelins again, just stick with that. If you must or want to change, some have used a P235/55R17 size tire. Look thru the brands available to you.

Thx Dot but would you advise even still good profile tyres need replacement after 8 years 11k miles?
PS what is the advantage of the 55R17, better looks or drive?

Thx again
