Beach Buggy Spare Wheel

Post by Kdkido »

Hi all, please assist with advice for the following problem.

I have 245/75/R15 tyres on the rear and 195/R14 tyres on the front of a beach buggy.

What size spare wheel should I carry? And reason?

I am guessing, 195/R14.

Any advice will be greatly appreciated,
thanks.

I have two 14" wide rims available, with differing offsets.

If either of them work you, give me a shout. They're in KZN.

1) One of each size...for obvious reasons

2) Good compressor and repair kit-(rubber plugs, vulcanising solution, etc). Reason- less space and weight than 2 spares.
Staying Aircooled is so much nicer.
Do'nt assume anything- (While doing fault-finding).
