I want to remove my spare tire mainly for improving view... But I'd like to keep a spare on board incase shit happens... What are u guys doing for spares... I have two ideas.. Run a donut layed down in the cargo area, or .. Tossing a donut in a roof rack and just covering it since donuts look ugly. I want a donut since it's only for emergency use and also cause it's much lower profile and won't get in the way (also a little more aerodynamic if it's on the roof)... Ideas... Opinions...

I'm running stock 32's right now... But when I get the 33 or 35's i was thinking of getting a donut that measures just as tall. If I get damage on a trail, I'll plug if possible. If it's sidewall damage... I'll plug till I get to a highway, then slap the 33" (or35") donut just to get home. I've wheeled for years and have never even had to use a spare. only time I had to use a spare in the past was just from runnin out of plugs and getting a nail on the highway.
