My main concern is sidewall damage. I know three fellow PCA members who have suffered flats in the last few years. One was a simple puncture on the tread, easily fixed with a on-the-spot tire plug. The other two were sidewall cuts, and were hugely inconvenient.
One was at Boxstoberfest on the Twisted Sisters. 987 Boxster, no spare, no cellphone reception. It took 9 hours for that poor guy to get off that mountain and back into town. Then he had to layover for three days at a hotel, at $175.00 a night, until he could source a new tire. Classic "My kingdom for a horse" scenario.
I'm probably overthinking the whole situation, or maybe I'm just having a hard time coping with owning a car without a spare tire for the first time in my life.
Just sayin'..............
