Possible Spare Tire Option

Anyone tried a spare from this company?? https://www.performancespare.com/ For around $300 for a spare, a jack and lug wrench it seems to be cheap insurance for those of us that got rid of the run flats. I know we don't have a spare tire well but even to just be able to have a spare as an option to the inflator/goo kit has to be a plus. I don't carry anything in my trunk except my lunchbox when I go to work. Really thinking of pulling the trigger on this. Will be contacting them for more info for sure. Add your 2 cents if you like. I have no affiliation with this company I just found it doing a google search for flat tire options for the Camaro.

I think that is a great option to have in case you are doing any type of traveling long distance. You can keep it home readily available and seems to be cost effective alternative while you get your tire replaced.

Thanks for the info!

I think I might opt for this. I removed the run flats. Also have hearing trouble so it's hard for me to call for help

Looks like a good option if you get rid of oem wheels. I plan on keeping my wheels with anothe set of rubber and plan to leave one in the trunk. Need a scissor jack and lug wrench for her yet. Or ill toss in my 4way

The problem with this world is stupidity.
I'm not saying there should be penalties for stupidity,
but why don't we just take the warning labels off everything and let the problem solve itself.
