Good question http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif
I took my spare out for a few months once... I just left it in my garage incase someone would ever need to bring it to me. Right now It stays in my car, but it has been over 2 years now and still never a flat

You only need 1 flat to appreciate a spare.
If your spare weighs 70lbs you'd better stop eating those donuts and lifting some weights.

Have spent some time now in collision investigation and believe me, the spare in the back is insignificant. It sits so far inboard that youre talking about major frame intrusion at that point. If you need that much crumple zone in a rear end TC ...

Depending on crash angles and the method used to fix the spare to the car, it can actualy become a projectile. But in either case (with or without) we're talking about the kind of crash you werent going to walk away from anyway.
Not a fan of run-flats, but the R32 should have come with a better solution than the compressor and fix-a-flat. Even if it meant swapping an OEM wheel to the front and putting the spare on the rear (caliper clearance).

| Whatever speed you gain by removing the spare isn't enough to justify not rocking a spare
Note that your spare tire is also a crumple zone in a rear end collision |
