Creating a spare tire?

[Drnick]

Sounds crazy, but I’m going on a long trip , and need a spare just in case, I digress,
My question is this; in regards to TPMS,
Since the car is already “reading” 4
Sensors, can it read a 5th? (Spare) or
Is car gonna have a clusterf—k and light
Up the dash?

The TPMS should need to be rotating. This shouldn't cause any clusterfucking.

Zrk, interesting video, so if there’s no issue with a 5th sensor, how do I make car read the new sensor ?( I should of mentioned that first, my bad) do I have to take it dealer?, or can I do it myself?

The car should recognize the change automatically. You just have to go through a short drive cycle (found in the tire settings) and you will be good to go.

I read the thread title and thought OP was going to talk about making something out of balsawood..

I use a spare from ModernSpare.com and tire pressure gauge..?

It just works when you slap it on. Literal Magic.

As per usual, Zrk is spot on.

Ha ha I should have worded it differently
I’d rather slap a spare on it, then flatbed it
That inflater in trunk will only work on small
Punctures….

Modern spare… excellent!! Thanks! But will it fit in the “Trunk “?

Where are y’all fitting these spares? Are you going on these trips without cargo? Lol

Nice man. Thanks for sharing. I guess I just plan on bringing a lot more stuff on the trip I want to go on that I wouldn’t sacrifice any space but it does actually fit ok. I’ll do a little more planning and see which way I go in terms of carrying one.

I don't think I've ever put anything in the trunk of the Supra now that I think about it.

It fits but not under the trunk floor liner so you’ll have to use a net to strap it down.. or lots of duct tape..

But I just leave mine in the garage and would just call my wife or kid to bring it over if I encounter a blow out.. if I’m not dead.
