Thought I'd close this subject with some final data. This is not a "full-size vs. Donut spare" discussion, I get that, but for those who want a donut spare to have an appropriate "matching" diameter, I'm happy to say that I found a good solution.
All tire diameters quoted below are inflated...
Thought #1:
In Post 24 from DWG, it states:
... if your vehicle is driven more than 10,000 miles/16,000 kilometers within a shorter timeframe, the estimates will not reflect one year, but will reflect 10,000 miles/16,000 kilometers.
This seems to directly say that if you're driving under...
That would be 400 days to hit zero. I was looking at our data, day-by-day, And it's aimed at about 365 days.... hmmmm.... exactly one year. I think we cracked the code.
Hey, look at that. Two data points of a one-year countdown clock!
I figured for the first change on our '25 BS Heritage, I'd watch it to see how different it is or isn't from our Honda past. To answer your question, we're at 1700 miles and the oil monitor (in the phone app) says 72%. So I am surprised by your number.
I was surprised when we took a 10-day...
Full agreement with both of you. This is a street car, the wife really likes the looks of the Heritage model (probably was an easy sell to me as my car is a 1966 as well) and we were in the market for a newer car for her. I wouldn't want to use a donut spare in an off-road situation, but I do...
John, good move changing the route from 4-corners to Monument Valley (Hi 163). I've done both many times and Hi. 163 is far superior. Great views of Monument Valley, you'll drive through Forrest Gump Point, and the colors in Raplee Ridge around Mexican Hat are fantastic. Be sure to do the...
I just bought a '25 Bronco Sport for the wife, so I'm new here. I was surprised that the stock tire diameter is nearly 29 inches, but the donut-spare (155/70-17) is 3 inches smaller (under 26)! I have no experience with 'new car' RDU / PTU function (I'm used to Traction-Lok units from the past...

So this is all I see under the floor of our 25 Heritage. Not even a jack? I guess I'm old school, I think I'm going to chase down a spare for the tire well. Or should I approach this differently?
