Removing spares from the boot of my type R

[monstaR]

Hi guys was wondering if i were to remove the spare tyres from the rear of my car, will it affect my cornering? Have anyone tried this before. Cheers. :D

[IRI]

Took mine out as soon as i got it. Made absolutley no difference whatsoever.... But haven't put it back in yet coz i figure the weight saving is a plus:)

[linkorr]

lolz..i took mine out as well. Not because I don't want it there.. but because IT WON'T fit. My car came with a 4 hole spare tyre. WTF???? Anybody wanna sell me their 5 hole space saver?

and no changes to the handling. I think that amount of weight is negligible.

isnt it illegal to take the spare out?

[jenova]

everything is legal until pu get caught :p

[linkorr]

oppsss.. my bad.. i forgot i took the cardboard out.. the spare is still in there. :) issit illegal if i have a spare but it doesn't fit??

no wonder there was no difference in the handling.. dang!!

[type one]

yes car is not roadworthy.

yeah took out my spare wheel and it is bloody heavy man....... ha ha then i can't make up my damm mind so i whack it back in again afraid that it will affect any weight distribution issues.......

monstar it will not affect yr handling, we take em out when we go to MCs
get one of those tyre inflator cans in case u get a flat

no champ it wont effect ur car performance, although less weight is a BONUS :)

the space saver hardly weights anything

i was always under the impression that u do not need a spare to be roadworthy.

if your spare tyre is not secured properly, then you have an issue.. well atleast thast what i read on the vicroad's website a while ago

they didnt check for a spare when i got my pink slip, so i assume it doesnt matter. ive had my spare out for a while now, because i enjoy the weight saving.... had my sub out to for atleast 6 months before i was conned to put it back in... damn i love the way it felt without that 50+kg

it might also effect the performance of the vehicle in an accident.
