I've been driving 40 years as of this past March. In that time, just over 1,000,000 miles, I have had two tires deflate. Both times, I hit some metal in the road and it sliced the tire, I was done.

I've only driven the three Crossfires a total of 106,000 miles, two 2200 mile and one 3200 mile trip in there - never had a problem. I've had to plug two Crossfire tires due to pickup up nails or screws, but that's easy to handle, didnt even take the tire/wheel off the car the last time.

Are you SURE you want to sacrifice the space for a tire?
