Yeah, im tired as hell this morning dealing with that stress!! defiantely getting a donut shouldnt be took diffiicult to find. I think having to Michelins on the front and two contis on the back is fine from everything i have ready, they are both rated the same and as long as both axles have the same tires all should be well. I want the michelin as a spare but want to ultimtely switch to conti's just not willing to replace two perfrectly good front tires right now. The other thing of note here is that i could have used the provided 'goo' in the back...I didnt have the nerve to try it and delay in me getting home could have caused me not getting home at all....what size of hole or gash is that thing good for?
