For those with BBK... How do you...

Deal with a flat? Do you have an extra wheel?

thats a good question because the oem wont fit over it. Probably you should just pick up another wheel even if its a piece of crap for like 100 bucks just to have in case of emergency

Simple, use a good rear tire and replace it with the flat front one. Than use the spare to replace that rear tire you just took off

Thanks for the replies guys... I think for my particular scenario (BBK up front only) Bobbydoedoe is thinking along the same lines I was... It's a little more work, but it get's the job done w/o extra cost.

I would jack the car in the rear, remove the rear wheel, put the spare on the rear. Then remove the flat tire/wheel up front, and put on the rear wheel up front.

If anyone else have more ideas, please post them up. Thanks again

the experience of the bbk will far outweight the extra effort needed to swap and change the tires. 1 piston stock vs 4 pistons for the rotora bbk

that's what AAA is for, but i also keep an extra wheel at home and if something happens, i can just get someone to get it for me. and if im going on a long trip, i replace the donut w/ the wheel at home.
