Spare Tire
We're planning a long touring trip this summer. I've been thinking about getting a spare tire. If I do, what size wheel and tire should I get? Thanks for your advice.

There is another thread similar to this just started yesterday. Might just want to jump in there. There have been a few comments.

I dont know where i spotted it but i saw some people doing GTO spares. I guess it works even with our backspacing. I was wondering the same thing because im going to be doing a 1500 mile rally in August and was a bit concerned.
Decided against it for a few reasons,
1. It will take up alot of space,
2. Already have the inflator kit with the Z
3. I have AAA
4. I dont want a spare tire chopping my head off if something stupid happens.

i realize it's not the same, but from time to time the OEM Z06 "tire" kit is for sale on the forum and on ebay. it is a tire pump and "factory" authorized slime can. takes up loads less space and will get you through. i left my runflats on for a trip like that and felt a bit better about having them. still averaged between 28-29+ mgp and for touring they weren't all that bad in my opinion.
