I wonder who’s Idea @ GM or AM was to put the spare tire inside…

If the H2 tires come with puncture sealant in them already then the sealant sure doesn't work very good. I ran over a nail after owning my H2 for about 2 weeks and it did not seal the samll puncture.

I don't like the rear tire carier nor do I like to give up the rear cargo space. I just removed the spare tire for daily driving and carry a bottle of that tire sealant. If I get a puncture I can use the tire sealant and then air it up with my air compressor, this should get me home to my spare.

Hard to argue your points. Getting the tire out of the back was one of the first things I did. My dealer also wanted $1500 for the carier.

Best I can say is purchase the SMA tire carrier, or the like, yourself and install. It is pretty straight forward and only takes a couple of hours (a lot less if you just slap it on). Makes a world of difference on room and view.

Not sure if it's true or not but my dealer claimed that the H2 stock tires have puncture sealant in them already so any small puncture will seal short of a major puncture of tear. Again, not sure of true this is but would be nice.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
