    Do they have a spare tire, I could not find one? Is there one or am I just blind? LOL

    Sorry for all the dumb questions about these things, I dont know anyone who has one so I dont know anyone to ask, and you know how much help the dealers are LOL

    None of the SRT8s have spares. The Jeep comes equipped with run-flats and the cars come with a fabulous air pump with fix-a-flat in it.

    They ride stiff. I use mine in all weather, & they seem to work fine. Those who have switched away from runflats say they get better ride/handling.

    How do they do in the winter, do you live where there is a winter?

    I'm in NY, very rural area. They do ok, not the best I'm sure. Based on other previous vehicles I've drove, they aren't as bad as I expected.
