RED99HT - those are nice looking wheels. What is your "spare tire" strategy?

I often travel some long stretches of road with almost no services. Even the run flat (50 miles / 50 MPH) is a stretch.

A "mobility kit" is too limited - it won't work on even small punctures of 1/4".

A space saver spare eats up trunk space and is still limited to 50 / 50.

A full size spare eats up even more trunk space but lets you go full distance at normal speeds.

We rarely have any passengers on the rear seats so we can treat the rear seats as a trunk so to speak.

BTW - lived in Charlotte (and then Rock Hill) many years ago. Lived near East Mecklenburg High School and worked near South Park Mall - small world.
