    How many humans here take out their spare tyre to reduce weight?

    I was just reading the "new to modding cars" thread in this section (bored at work) and I'm up to weight reduction, power to weight ratio.

    How many humans here actually take out their spare tyre to reduce weight? I've always thought about doing it...

    It doesn't matter what the rest of us do, you need to ask yourself: is it worth it waiting for a tow truck/friend aid because you don't have a spare?

    Serious though...

    Leave the spare inside the car on daily, definitely leave it for the spirited runs, that's where you usually get punctures and you will have issues getting help up in the mountains...

    When tracking then obviously take the spare out when you arrive

    I took my spare out, mainly so I could fit things in the spare wheel hole. Will get a space saver wheel, get a bag for it and put it behind the passenger side seat though.
    I've buggered a tyre running on it flat cause of that sole reason (Well, I also completely forgot it was flat and drove on it >.>)

    either go all out (like race car) or dont bother at all. IT wont make a difference to performance and is needed for those rare occasions of a flat tyre.
