No spare tire with Hybrid? Any stories?

[Gruson]

Ok,

So I got a great deal on a new 2008 Tahoe Hybrid.

However, I just now found out there is no spare tire with it!!!!

That REALLY worries me, as I have probably had at least 4 flats over the years.

I am curious, anyone get a flat yet?

I guess we just call the roadside assistance if the supplied kit cannot fix it?

Anyone figure out a way to carry a donut at least?

Have you seen the supplied kit? It's kinda neat, filled with that slime, and it's a portable air compressor as well. It should work for slow leaks.

Total blow out, well, yeah, then we're screwed.

Red 08 Hybrid

I think we're gonna start seeing ALOT of 08 Hybrid posts. Sounds like GM is flooding the dealers with all the low mi factory demos and practically giving them away. I just snagged a Red/Tan Hybrid LOADED with only 6k mi for 29k.

Never even though to check for spare but just relaized myself it has none - they cut weight everywhere. So i signed up for the OnStar in case of emerg.

Im also already looking to add some chrome factory accessories like grill/tip/hooks/wheels. Probably sacrifice a little mpg but always preferred that Tahoe look. Hybrid is slightly off that look.

Anybody have any thoughts/experience?

That is a great price! 2WD?

Can't complain. Yeah 2wd. Should still be ok to tow my bowrider though ya think? I mean the tow rating is still over 6000lbs. That's no bag of yarn.

You plan on any factory mods yourself? I mean I really just want some slightly nicer wheels and the hooks/hitch fascia. I basically want to get back some of that LTZ look they dropped for weight.

 

[Ed Blown Vert]

That is still a great price.

I may. I was thinking about leveling it and Chrome 20"

 

[stevetut]

leveling??

 

[Ed Blown Vert]

There is a kit that can bring up the front and inch or so.

I have 3 peaces of 18" 12 spoke wheel with Bridgestone Dueler A/T P265/65R/18 low-rolling-resistance tires. If you need spare tire let me know. I can sale 250 each.
