How often have you used your insurance policy? I run out of fingers and toes if I try to count the number of people I have helped on the side of the road with a flat tire. Most had spares. 30 minute max and they are on their way. Those without... I carry lots of extra stuff with me, but not spare tires for other cars! A flat tire is an annoyance when there is a spare - but a real predicament if there isn't one. I may not live quite so far "out there" as Grant - but it's far enough out that cell service isn't certain and it's a looong walk. I will always have 1 (or more) spare tires for the same reason I always carry car parts, car tools, food, extra clothes, rope, water filter, etc. _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
