Spare tire diameter

[Topless]

I no longer carry a spare. Can't be bothered dragging around an extra wheel only to face changing a tire with lame roadside tools. I prefer one of these:
SLIME – Worldwide Leader in Tire Care – Repairing a flat tire? Slime Tire & Tube Sealant » Catalog » Catalog Products » Smart Spair Flat Tire Repair Kit (SS-PDQ/06)
And one of these:

My spare is also available for a fair price.

Probably the best suggestion. We had a discussion a while back as to whether front end crash safety is compromised with the spare removed. I may carry the original anyway for that reason. The front end on this car is light and as the spare fits down between the front tires it doesn't affect handling in a bad way.

It does seem that with AAA and some Slime, a spare is not really very necessary these days unless you are cruising far away from civilization.

But doesn't the Boxster need that spare weight in front anyway to reduce understeer?

Just thinking out loud.

Removing weight in the front reduces understeer.

I never carried a spare or jack in any of my cars, just a can of Fix-a-Flat. Once I bought my Boxster & saw how light the spare & the great alloy jack is I always carry them.

Does anyone know what the circumference of a boxster cigarette lighter is ?

A little larger than your manhood I suspect.

And I guess that's why I just don't find you all that attractive.
