One does what one has to do but most of the time these days we don't have a lot of flats anyhow. My 2000 Cadillac has 156K on it and I don't think the spare has ever been mounted on the car.

my problem is the shock bottoms out before I can get the tire out of the wheelwell. I could deal with it on the side of the road but eventually im going to give the truck to my daughter someday and she couldn't deal with it. I just need a smaller tire. any suggestions on tire size . thanks guys
