Default why do you need a donut? i have a 19" in the tire well that fits fine..therefore anything smaller

will fit also. Donuts are worthless an only good for 30 miles or something

Default I think he means getting towed by a flatbed truck.

Sort of a waste IMO when you can just do a 5 minute tire change w/ the full-sized spare. Either that or run $$$$ run flats.

Default Can of Fix-A-Flat? Lot of ppl have removed their spare in favor of a boomin system...

Or just weight savings.<ul><li><a href="http://www.audizine.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&amp;threadid=87018">Boomin</a></li></ul>

You're SOL if you get a sidewall cut though.

You can't go over 50mph on a donut either

Default Sry, I know that's what you had in mind...

It's just that I've been stuck with a flat in NYC on 30th and Park at 3:00am with hookers milling around, and I was pretty bummed to see the Fix-a-flat sputtering out of the sidewall tear.
