Carry a Spare Tire or Sealing Kits?

[Nikas Zekeval]

So, especially early on, if you get heavily into looting you can find yourself looking for that extra bit of room.

And I started considering "Do I carry a spare tire, or just a couple sealing kits to patch anything till I get back?" Spare here means the best tire you can make, and hopefully matches the rest of your wheels.

Tires are more bulky, 3x3 vs 2x2 for kits, and you can't stack a few in the same spot like I believe you can with sealing kits. OTOH if you get a tire sufficiently trashed, there might be little for the kit to seal.

Plus the kits are a possible on going expense, though at least the glass, duct tape, and rubber is no further than the nearest wrecked car. One crude door (duct tape and glass) and a tire and you are in business. And most wrecks have two tires if both are spares and you get unlucky on what drops.
