£65 for three years seems good value to me. It means I can take the spare wheel out and gain 100+ kg's of payload. :thumb:

Are you really sure ? I've seen scare stories of breakdown organisations refusing to come out with no spare.

 

[Munchie]

Yes but these are specialists they do not do breakdowns, only tyres and they guarantee to be with you within 2hrs anywhere in the UK with a spare you only pay for the new tyre. So I will carry the Fiat puncture repair kit. If the damage is too much for it I would have to buy a new tyre anyway and as I say it gives me back over 100kgs of payload.

P.S. Tyron have a good reputation their band system is used by the Police and ambulance services.

One hell of a wheel. I'd not want to pick it up. So you could carry a 125cc bike instead.

I can take the spare wheel out and gain 100+ kg's of payload ??? What's it made of? Lead? Seems a tad over the top. I weigh less than 100kgs and I know a spare wheel is not that heavy. Also, do you get the call-out in Europe - or don't you go there? On balance I think I'll stick to my spare wheel.

Just had the bands fitted to our MH and got the 'spider' for if I get stuck in the middle of nowhere at a tyre shop who doesn't know about Tyronoh:.

Ok OK so I hazarded a guess. I am not good at judging weights but I do know I struggle to even move it from one side of our garage to t'other. So it is very heavy :Sad:. So a big gain in payload and the extra space for "stuff". I can't fathom why no spare is sucg a big deal? Nearly all Euro vans come without a spare these days, all they have is the pucture repair kit and I bet there are not so many who fork out for a spare. Anyone ever weighed a spare wheel 215/70 R15? I will when I get home and post a proper weight. I bet some will get a shock.

100kg

what kind of rubber do you have Ken...or is the wheel itself made from cast iron ?

i would have said maybe 100lbs but not 100kg's.

it would take two fitters, at least, to lift it on the hub.

 

[Munchie]

Yep you are probably right John. As I say I am not good at guessing weight but I will weigh it when I get home. But even 100 lbs is a lot as when I carry my 1kw Kippor I only have 15kg left and that is without any water.

My van (Rapido) has no spare wheel, and nowhere to put one either, come to that the Smart car doesn't have a spare.

My previous Dethleffs did have a spare but carried underneath with high risk of back injury to get it out.

I still think that you can`t beat carrying a spare wheel, personally i would not go anywhere without one on or in my m/home.
