We get a lot of idiots around here who don't think the bed of the pick up is full or the trailer is full until roofing tear off or reno demo they carry is falling off as they go down the road to the dump.
We were keeping a warn down spare tire (no rim) incase we got a flat, I was not going to try to remove and remount the tire by my self.
Then I took that tire and put it on a spare rim. Now it stays in the trunk.
We have real bad roads and the Hyundai rims are a little thin and about once a year we get a wheel knocked out of round by a pot hole.
I used to not keep a spare in the suburban but now I use one to cover the ARB air compressor and solar charge controller I put in the spare tire area. So when a crack head looks in side the back they don't see anything that might worth stealing.
