CatKing Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 hi all, is there anybody out there had taken away their spare tire from the rx330. other than flat tire occassion, are there any disadvantages from it. i think if it is not usually happened and i can call for towing once it occur, what is good to keep it there? thank you for your advice if any.

denslexusgx470 Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 another thing (for those really picky about cars) It hides the under part of the car so people don't easily see if it's dirty or clean (if it's clean, under part is usually nice and black, usually the conditon before used in rain).

Instead I have a fix-a-flat can for slow leaks. Drawback is you lose the option of jacking up a flat and replace with spare w/o calling the tow truck.

CatKing Posted May 2, 2005 Author Share Posted May 2, 2005 hi, thanks all for the input and that are all i am thinking about. the most concern is i can take away some weight from the vechicle provided that that is no harm to it liked if rear-end collision happened.
