Not sure about the weight but I can tell you they weigh a HECK of a lot less than the S-Lites. "Lites" is such a joke!

So . . . now that I no longer have run flats and have zero room for a spare, what do you folks do? I guess I'm stuck with AAA road service and a can of fix-a-flat.

Aloha!

John,

NICE!

I use to carry a patch kit (I'm pretty fast at patching a flat), however, one day I thought about having to patch in the rain, or worse, in the dark, and I now have a MINI spare tire behind my seat. I bought the wheel from my dealer andthen ordered the tire from Tire Rack. I also have the spare in a bag from the Bag Lady.

big hole

--My buddy caught a flat on dillingham the other day and I guess it was pretty bad. He told me it cost him $78 to fix it!!! I said what man you try to run over a mongoose and it tried to chew out a big chunk before it died or what? Geez for $20 more he coulda got a new tire! Sick. I'm avoiding all of Kalihi from now on!
