Spare v Tyreweld

[Devon Terrano]

Hi All,

Just bought some used 31x10.50R15's on alloys rims - second hand and only x4 wheels..

I have not tired yet, but I assume a 31x10.50R15's will not fit on a 1995 Terrano's back door and that stock Jack wouldn't be upto the job, I kinda recall the jack that comes with the Terrano struggles to lift it high enough change a standard wheel...

I heard that many people carry Tyreweld instead of a spare... Holts now do a 500ml 4x4 can...

Question is what to do about a spare?

I've been with the tyre weld stuff for a while now and only hope it actually works when I need it:augie
BUT do take a spare when off road:thumbs

Tyre weld is to be honest sh1t!!!

On my comp car Ive got tyre weld instead of a spare (designed like that!) :doh

1) As ADZ says if you get anything bigger then a nail it wont seal
2) You have to find the hole, make sure its at the bottom of the wheel then pump it in (you try find a hole in a mud covered 31 inch tyre!!!)
3) After you have pumped it all in they recomend you dont do over 50mph - apparently its an aid to get you to a garage... not a solution!
4) After you have pumped it in you've then gotta think about how your gonna pump up the tyre
5) If you take your tyre to the garage for a repair and you have pumped this stuff in they wont repair the puncture, they recomend a new tyre!!!


If it came to the crunch I would off road with a standard size spare 'just incase' rather then trust a tin of tyre weld!!! :nenau

 

[makeitfit]

Good to know:thumb2
Spare for off road a must:thumbs
Better find one quick as I sold my last set inc the old spare:lol:naughty

 

[BigBlack]

Ay... but you know for as long as you carry a spare round you'll never need it...

soon as you dont have a spare....... :doh :doh :doh

im sure 90% will be fobs if rubber covers are split or missing.

when i got my car they worked just about worked


but the horn / alarm was disconeted.. wire BROKEN off. so i cant put it back now.

 

[Adz]

Getting sort of back on topic :augie :lol
I got a nice small padlock for my spare
Do they actually do some sort of manufactures factory fit lock

 

[Terranosaurus]

Just a padlock I beleive.

For bigger spares, if you remove the carrier and turn it over it lifts the wheel up as its offset.

 

[zippy656]

oh how much high will that make it,
as id like a little more room for when / if i move my caravan sockets.
