Spare or No Spare? New R1S Owner

As is probably obvious from the size of the slit in my tire the tire goo would have been utterly useless. We didnt even try it.

I didn’t upload any photo. I meant it was obvious that a two inch slash in the sidewall was far too big for the goo to be effective. The tire could not be pumped up with our air compressor. Air hissed out as fast as it was pumped in.

Sorry about that...I read it too quickly and thought you meant to show the two-inch slit in your sidewall...

No worries. I never took a picture of it.

I have 2 pucks. I assume one would really be enough on the road, but is there a reason to have 4?

I actually carry 5...

• A set of four "regular" pucks that my local tire place uses when they rotate my tires (they don't have a set compatible with a Rivian and they lift the entire truck when they do the rotation)
• A XL puck that I use with my 10-ton bottle jack if I need to pull a tire myself (for example, to remove a screw and plug it)
