But yes I understand what your saying, but you see what I mean, a spare that is the same as the front would be optimal =)
Uhhhhhhh no you should never drive with a flat. If you drive it somewhere to be fixed, the tire is going to be so messed up that they can't fix it.

Not completely true. Especially with low pros.

I have had a flat on my low pros and the sidewall is stiff enough to hold it up fine, I didn't notice it right away. No damage and no excess wear.

I've seen tires get driving with rim on rubber from sidewall flex though. They are boned.

Maybe I'm not very nice or something but, if a guy that just hit my car asked me for a ride to work I would have pulled out my pistol and asked if he wanted a ride to Allah, Jehovah, Yahweh, or whatever deity they believe pray to instead. Fuuuuck that guy dude, find the most expensive shop and take it there. Have them fix it with gold plated fasteners and include a rental and a hooker. When I walked out of the movies a few weeks ago and saw that someone hit my car and left without leaving any info I literally could have cut someone's throat and/or beat someone's head in with a lead pipe. Now I'm out a few hundred bux, at least you got his insurance info.

Well like I said, just got back from the gym, and had a cigarette too actually (I don't habitually smoke so the **** numbs my face lol) so I was in a hella good mood at the current moment in time haha =)

Im hoping to get a few things warrantied while its at the bodyshop getting fixed, the bodyshop and dealership are the same building. Il post my progress when its all done.
