Tracey Ann Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Hi all, I am not to the club but was hoping someone could give me some guidance on where to get a spare tire kit for my 2002 SC 430. Actually, a spare tire kit that is less that $750, I saw someone quoted one at $500 canadian dollars though. The dealership quoted me $1200 for one which is way overpriced in my opinion. Any suggestions or suggestions as to an alternative would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Tracey Ann. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmartin248 Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Go to Walmart and get the tire repair kit that has a little 12 volt compressor and a bottle of tire sealant (Green Slime) for about $20 and forget about the spare tire. We have 250,000 miles on our SC430 and never had a problem.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1990LS400 Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Search the SC430 forum with the key words "+spare +tire" (without the quotes) and you will find a number of threads about Toyota Supra, Acura TL, etc. spare tires being the same wheel and tire size as the tire/wheel in the official SC430 spare tire kit. You can get a spare tire/wheel that fits your SC430 for very little but if you want the complete trunk kit, that's another story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracey Ann Posted April 26, 2011 Author Share Posted April 26, 2011 wow, you have that many miles on your car. Incredible. My thought was just to by a spare and put down in the well of the rear of the car. Unfortunately, my golf clubs won't fit now, but I rather be safe than sorry. But your suggestion is well taken in the interim. I have a small air compressor we use for the bikes, so many that will work as well. Thanks bunches for your response.

Tracey Ann Posted April 26, 2011 Author Share Posted April 26, 2011 thanks for the advice. Just having the spare tire is comforting enough, not sure I need all the bells and whistles. Tracey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
