Hence spares are not > included; they only give you a can of fix-a-flat type stuff. On the i-MiEV, not only are the front and rear tires different sizes, the wheels are different widths. And neither will even mount on the other end of the car, because of some adapter-spacer thingy that prevents it. And even if you get past all of that, the front and rear rolling diameters must be proportionally different by just the right amount, or the ABS has a hissy fit, stops working and lights up the dash like a Christmas tree. (Dunlop and Yokohama are the only mfrs that make matched sets. Continental appears to, but if you try you will get the scenario described above.) That fix-a-flat stuff is a royal pain in the heiny, and something you should never subject a tire repairman to. I replaced that with a tire plug kit. Still working on a way to get a small scissors jack in there so you can at least get the wheel off the car. Chris -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
