When you install the wire at the spinner, make the connection in the back of the spinner and cut the leader long enough to curl it behind the spinner with a needle noce plier into a curly-que. This prevents you from tearing up your hand up when washing the wheels, and it looks better too.
As to the spare, I hav a can of fix-a-flat in the trunk, as I have no jack and if you have removed your spinner you can imagine doing it on the side of the road. I have considered purchasinf a tire plug kit and a can of air or a small 12v compressor. But then I think, that what credit cards are for. Also, the Fix-a-flat would trash the tire I'm told. Two different size tires...the list goes on.......
