Alterative spare tire storage

[MIDgrid]

Safety far exceeds any risk of a standard tire - thus all our household vehicles have RFT which can still drive with zero air pressure to a safe location up to 50 miles away.

Have you identified a RFT replacement for the Slate truck?

I also would like to know, having no experience at all with RFT. I have opted to carry a plug kit and small compressor over a spare and have had to plug several times, but an RFT sounds appealing.

Driving on a Los Angeles freeway, the SUV had a tire blow out, pulled over to the side shoulder, I called Auto Club for assistance as the spare was flat. Wife was checking the back of the SUV..

While waiting, a small low riding car rolled up behind with 2 tatted out young people who were probably thinking they rolled up on a female victim with a flat.

As they walked up, I could see in the side mirror that they were not the Auto Club personnel.

As they were about to confront my wife at the back of the vehicle, I stepped out and pulled out my licensed sidearm and held it to my side, never pointing it but rather a low ready position. They saw that I was armed, backed off, and quickly drove off.

If I had not been there, it might have been a totally different outcome.

That's when I made the decision never to be stranded on the side of a road for a flat tire.

Safety far exceeds any risk of a standard tire - thus all our household vehicles have RFT which can still drive with zero air pressure to a safe location up to 50 miles away.

Glad they had the smarts to leave! Also smart on your end for being ready for anything.
