How many of you remove the spare tire and trunk interior?

no jack or spare. I still have carpet though.

The reason I did this is if I ever do get a flat I wont be able to take off the rim because I dont carry my locking lug nut key. Thats what i have AAA for.

Are you sure your AAA is going to pay for your tow in full even you are 100 miles from your home ??

99% of the time I do not travel 100 miles out of civilization. You're not supposed to travel 30+ miles on the small donut anyways. I would just get my car towed to a local tire shop and get a new tire put on.

um, riding on that dount messes up T-cases, at least thats what i have heard. I have AAA that will tow my car 100 miles in any direction on a flatbed for free. All my trunk is in my room.

My trunk is bare. Looks better with trunk bar and strut tower. I have Micheline pilots and paid the extra smack to get the run flats for just this reason...

The trunk on the evo is huge too, whenever I pick up family/friends from logan airport they are impressed I can fit all their luggage. AAA FTW, it's really hard on the rear diff to run with the spare tire on, therefor I would just call AAA and get it towed to a tire shop to have a new tire put on. I don't think it affects the tcase because the spare tire will not fit over the brembos on the evo. If you get a flat tire in the front you have to move a rear tire and put it on the front and put the spare on the rear
