Fun chain of events -
Tire goes flat, bead pops
I go to pull spare, no tire iron.
I get the lug nut key out thinking I can borrow someone elses.. it doesn't match my lug nuts
Shop cuts off the keyed lugnuts, puts on spare for me.
My spare isn't a full size, proper diameter just not proper width. How long is this good for? I'm in between pay days, and with 35k miles on the other 3 tires I'm assuming I need to replace all 4. I'd like to just limp along until next Friday when I get paid, I'm assuming this isn't a big deal so long as I don't offroad or do a top speed run.
This puts a pretty big hamper on buying two tires for the moto.
