When I bought my ti... it wasn't there. Also, is it a full spare or one of those small spares that tells you not to drive over 50 mph. Thanks -Jeff | | | 06-09-2007, 02:39 AM | #2 | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2004 Location: SoCal Posts: 549 | Space saver spare, definitely not over 50/60MPH. __________________ 318Ti Sport (Gone, but thanks for your years of service) | M3 E30 | 190E-16V | M Coupe E36/8 | | | 06-09-2007, 02:48 AM | #3 | Member Join Date: Jun 2007 Location: CA Posts: 43 | Do you happen to have a picture of it?

If you plan on lowering or lightening your car, you should ditch the carrier underneath your car as it weighs about 30 lbs and scrapes when you pull out of driveways. There was some sort of bulletin regarding that a while ago. Spare tires were being found damaged when owners needed to use them. I have 4 steelies with pretty worn snow tires that I use for spares. They're full size and I could go over 50mph with them. Not only do the space savers limit your speed and handle poorly, but if your car is lowered they most likely wont work. If you want, I'll bring one of the steelies for you to the Socal meet. | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
