Hello all,
I have a Model 3 RWD.
I have a spare tire question. I need a full-size spare for times when I take road trips to remote areas with no cell phone coverage and having to avoid interruption due to tire availability.
Spare: I have a new OEM 18 inch wheel and a universal TPMS sensor as a spare.
I need to buy a full-size spare tire for this spare wheel.
Currently, I have new directional tires on the car that can only be rotated front to back (without the obvious dismount/remount).
I need help deciding:
1. Whether to buy the same directional tire as a spare (and driving it on a trip in the wrong direction in case I get a flat on the other side)
2. Whether to buy a same-brand non-directional tire as a spare (and having one mismatched tire for the trip until I get home and get the original flat tire fixed).
And once decided:
How do I incorporate tire rotation of this full size spare (whether directional or not)?
Any other thoughts?
