The reason the Wanderlodge owners carry tires is because with the 'goat rails' the tire won't slide off.  I have one above my head as I type this...  It has been up there for over 2 years and never moved... I did strap it to the goat rails because I'm paranoid ...

My '93 came with a spare tire on a rim. After the first year I sold it to a dump truck guy. The tire was dated 1992 and looked like it never hit the ground. I would hate to have one on the roof of a Newell. And it takes up a LOT of room in the basement.

I tried putting a tire in the basement and that lasted about a month... way too big under there. Maybe I should strap one to the front? Do they make those hard tire covers big enough? lol

There is no way I would consider carrying a spare tire and wheel. There is not only the question of where to store it, but who is going to jack up the coach and change the tire, dispose of the old casing, and handle the weight. Not me.

Me too....Keep good tires on it and carry a credit card for that unlikely road hazard tire equalization.

i had posted before about have a cut tire replace. it was in my driveway in mesa earlier this year and i called my road hazard company and they came, took the tire and wheel to their shop, got a new michelin and put it on and came back and put it on my rig. only cost was the tire through michelin advantage. took 3 - 4 hours.
