Re: Need opions
Hated it on the outside at first, but learned to live with it!
It's not really that bad, and I would hate to think it would do to someone's car in a rear end accident!

Re: Need opions
I put mine on top because I don't like it inside or hanging on the back. I know if I leave it home, I'll need it. Roadside assistance won't cover a call if your spare isn't with you, so I just leave it one top. I've only needed it once after I picked up a drill bit with the right rear tire one time.
I don't go into parking garages or anything like that, so I don't have to worry about clearance.

Re: Need opions
I love mine on back, but eithout a cover. I think an uncovered spare on the back makes the vehicle look like a serious off-road vehicle
(even more so on the roof, but I can't get any taller and still park inside, and a spare on top has to drop your highway MPGs--almost like putting a small sail on top of your vehicle). If you want an urban-looking machine, inside or no spare would be best.

Bill Burke used that very kit on my sidewall gash in Moab. It held at rock crawling pressure, but when I aired up on the street, the plugs all shot out. I prefer the kits that use the rubber cement to the "special Lube". But it is special. If the gash were any bigger I would have been SOL without a spare.

What in the wild wild World of Sports were you doing in MOAB without a Spare? 
To be honest I would never try to plug a sidewall with any Tire repair kit be it special lube or rubber cement. A sidewall hole brings da AAA

Bill just wanted to try plugging the sdewall as an educatinal exercise to see if it would work and for how long. I HAD a spare.

Re: Need opions
For functionallity the swing-a-way rear is best IMO. Its a bitch to get a 90lb tire off the roof and the flat one on there again if you are out on a trail, or anywhere for that matter.
