[FC] Spare tire alternatives

[gswiatowy at rochester.rr.com]

Several years ago I remember someone using space savers all the way around at a convention for the economy run, very little rolling resistance.
They made that, but to me it would be scarry for all 4.
That said, I have a space saver for my Greenbrier, mounted in the original spare location.
I have not used it yet.......
But, the bonus is that I have a "hinged" motor lid, and it clears the space saver, where a full sized spare would not let the hinged lid clear.
