Ok. Had my car 2 weeks, and got a flat tire. Had to use the "fix-a-flat" system. And, the little I drove on it hosed up the sidewall. Found a Discount Tire who was able to find me a tire. But, it got me wondering about having a spare nearby at all times. Does anybody think it's a good idea to keep spares (on or off rims) in their garage? Is there a cheaper rim/tire that could work in a pinch until an official tire can be found if someday it takes longer than a day that one could store?
If I was just replacing worn tires, it wouldn't bother me to wait a few days. But, for an emergency, I'd like to know I had more options than squirting goo in and hoping for the best.
