Interesting...
I had 3 in my Toyota, one mounted on each reinforced bed rail, and the original spare underneath.. One of the Canadians came down one week with a FourRunner, probably before it was called a Fourrunner. He had four ply tires which were fine for the highway but not the gravel roads we were working from. The garage at the camp we were staying would fix it for free but by mid-week he had one of my spares and the mechanic was grumbling about the number of times he's already patched the kid's tires. When he didn't show up one night and their boss was going to go looking for him I said "You may as well grab the spare from the back of my truck."I carried three many times. Because I needed three once and only had two.
Thank you for the examples, and my sympathies. For reference, I looked it up just now, and Little Rock AR's homicide rate was apparently about 40 per 100,000 population last year; AR as a whole about 11. In my area, Ontario (as a whole province) was 1.87, and the highest metropolitan area in it (Thunder Bay) clocked in at 5.6 (in 2021). I'm sure my concerns and perspectives would be very different in your situation.I understand your view, however there was a situation [...] This world is broken, I live in Little Rock Ar, it is rated #3 in the nation for violent crime and murder.
