Ok don't laugh do I have a spare tire I can't find one am i not looking hard enough?

 

No, you do not have a spare tire.

If you go to the trunk and lift the bottom panel....you will find a "tirefit" system. It is comprised of a can of sealant, and a small air compressor powered by your cigarette lighter.

 

Ok I see the hole where that must have went.

 

I've got a small spare tire but I'm working on it!

 

I have one as well, but with enough cardio, and some crunches it is getting smaller

 

From what I understand the tire kit only is supplied to models sold in Europe.
You can purchase a can of inflater and a car pump cheep.

 

No, I am sure all Crossfires had this kit. Because there was no option for a spare since we have staggered wheels. I still have mine in the back... I never had to use the sealant though (yet).

 

Got one in my car.

 

My canadian car has the kit.

 

I did not get this car new the last guy must of needed it

This was a perfect oppertunity to send someone under their car to find the "small emegency spare" and you guys blew it.
We would have told him the truth after a little while.:P

Truthfully....you're better off buying a tire plug kit from the auto parts store. The sealant that comes with the car will basically ruin the wheel once it's used.


Turkeyman.....ALL Crossfires came with this kit...not just european models.

 

I'm sure all the Crossfires came with the kit.
Older years have tire sealant with expiration dates that have been passed now.
I don't recommend the sealant anyway as it ultimately ruins the tire.
I suggest you do as many others here have.
Buy a good tire plug kit and a good pair of needle nose pliers.
If the situation occurs you can remove the object from the tire and install the plug.
Then use your tire inflater to fill the tire back up with air.
This can usually be a permanent fix in most cases.

 

My tech mentioned not to use the canned sealant stuff because it can damage the TPMS system. Thank goodness for triple A.

 

There is the complete answer!

 

Does anybody actually drive around with a spare tire in the trunk?

 

I carry a tire plug kit just as you recommend. However, I spent several years in Germany, and interestingly these plugs were not allowed as a tire shop repair there. They only used an inside patch. Apparently, they felt that the plugs could fail during the high speed driving that is allowed over there?

 

A patch is the ideal repair but the plug will work.
If you plug the tire you can then go to a repair facility and have the tire patched if you are concerned.

 

Yes, My almost wife does. but I hope to get rid of that with the new christmas treadmill.
