So I installed the spare tire mounting kit on my 2010 GT...They said the whole kit is close to 30 lbs thanks to the aluminum spare wheel.
I wanted to get a spare tire for peace of mind...not sure how well those IMA really works and if its worth destroying the tire after using it...on top of that the kit kinda sorta acts like a rear strut bar LOL.
So if its 52/48 weight distribution without the wheels...so maybe I'm really close to 50/50 LOL.
I don't think I will go out of my way to put a spare wheel in the back. It sucks to destroy a tire, I agree, but seems like the mounting kit and the wheel are really expensive.
And speaking of the IMR... My bottle of sealant expired like 5 years ago. What's a good place to get cheap replacements? The dealership charges $100+ for a bottle. I know there are those cheap sealants you can buy in auto stores, but I can't fit it in the small box.
