spare donuts for a 1LE?
Had a lousy experience a few weeks ago. Ran over a key in a parking lot and it lodged into my rear tire. Came back from the store to start my car and be greeted with a 14 psi low pressure rear tire warning. damn. I was in my home town, was able to fill it with some air enough to get home. But the rear tire could not be repaired, the damage was too bad. I had the factory good years on it with only 5k miles. A new set for the rears and 700+ bucks later and all is well. I just replaced them with another set of good years.
Anyhow, got me thinking about long trips. Would be nice to have a spare donut for my SS 1LE that would work for the front and rear. I have the 1LE so I have the 6 piston brembos in the front and 4 pistons in the rear, the set from performancespare supposedly says max 4 piston brembos. Anyone know if there is a donut tire that exists for the 1LE 6th gen? |

Check out Modernspare.com. I've got one for both my Z/28 (6 piston Brembos) and Z06. Good to have if you drive on public roadways.

I believe a donut would wreak havoc on the eLSD, anti-lock brakes and magna ride due to wheel diameter. I think that would not only harm your car but be REALLY dangerous to drive!
That's what AAA is for |

You may be correct, but sometimes cell phone service is lacking and it is nice to have a spare, even though (knock on wood) I have not had a flat in decades.
