to get a plug / patch for the screw in my tire.

Just venting........... like someone posted here, the tire&wheel won't fit in the trunk.

Guess I could tie the lid down by wrapping something around the spoiler

lucky i keep a moving pad in the trunk; thousand uses.

in engineering something's always gotta give :willy:

I thought I remember reading that someone said that with the spare cover off there's room :confused

It may, I thought about it but had so much stuff in the trunk, and on the side of the road, i just said the heck with it.......

I'll try that in a little while

What about the 18 inch rims supposedly available on the '05? Here is a better question, has anyone actually been able to ge a flat tire in the trunk?

Westell,

Be sure to watch your tire over the next few days, I had a patch & plug installed and it didn't take well (stock wheels & tires). Ended up taking it back about 2 weeks later with 23psi; they had it all day while ironing the patch instead of using the adhesive glue.

BTW, what did the tire man mean when he said I lost my speed rating? I presume it has something to do with the plug?

OK, I'm going outside and will try this again, to fit in trunk w/o floor in place.

On speed rating - yeah, i guess you don't want that plug coming out at hyperspeed , seriously, I've been in "Z" rated rubba for 15 years now and plugged / patched a few with no problems and do frequent the 150 club every safe chance I get

I'll repost on the tire fit. :seeya:

OK, it fits, without floor, not flush, but at angle, with floor on top of tire/wheel and the lid shuts.

was able to stuff the baseball eqpt. bag and skateboard in, too
