I know they have one my buddy's wife drives the car and he brought it over and was mind blown by the spare tire kit

 

Ugh, so I drove 20 minutes to Autozone to buy a c-clamp to try and get my antenna stud out of my mount and they said they didn't carry them, which I thought was odd. Looked at the website and it says in stock at that store.

 

You went to the Walmart of auto parts..... what did you expect?

But that does suck.

 

Sucks to suck

 

Wal Mart and Lowes didn't have any either that I could find Haha

Going to try O' Reilly's, a local hardware store, and then NAPA. Surely one of them has one...

 

Just as I said, make us spend more fucking money.

 

now that we all know that apparently it's becoming common, anyone buying a new car, make sure there is a spare, and if not, make sure one gets put in the deal. I'm sure this kit could have easily been put into the deal when buying the car

 

Totally could have, that's total BS.

 

The new rav4 doesn't have a spare if you get the run flat tire package. If you're like most people you probably bought the roadside assistance from your insurance, so they will come and plug that tire for you. The insurance lady worked so hard to sell me that even though I am fully capable of dealing with a roadside issue myself.

 

Free towing for days!

 

This haha

It's the only reason I have it.

 

knock on wood I don’t have any road side assistance. not from toyota, not from AAA or insurance.


i have only had one probably. and that was a flat tire on moms scion xb, and i changed it my self. i got it while pulling into a parking lot, and DB parked in 2 spots to give me some save working space and not worry about a car trying to park where i was sitting on the ground and maybe hitting me.

 

My mom's car has no spare tire because she has run flat tires. I don't know if I like that or not.

 

I personally don't like run-flats. Too stiff, and I don't get flats enough to justify the extra cost.

 

a couple guys I know drove up to colorado springs (I flew) and their engine blew out before they got to colorado, they had to get a tow all the way to colorado springs. Would have been worth having roadside assistance then

 

Wow.... What load range are those things!?

Which is exactly why I want it if I plan to do wheeling trips towards Colorado haha

 

mine could probably do this. just have to go slow as all hell. load rang E is what i have.

damn! yeah that definitely would be great at a time like that!
