I have a space saver spare tyre for piece of mind. You should be able to do better than $750 I would think. I have heard that those inflator kits are terrible with the gunk that they put into your tyre.have read a few of the break in , spare tyre posts/threads on here,
I wont be driving 15,000 miles per year nor going regional too often, so the lack of spare tyre/space saver was a bit surprise, my car comes with RACV roadside, and I asked them if I dont have a spare do you guys help with the inflation kit , they said no, they will tow the car and pay for your hotel, which seems a huge overkill, so am thinking should i buy one of those tyre kits for about $750 ish , what do you guys do?
breakin - some say it doesnt need it but the manual says to not drive like schumacher for the first 1500km, so what is the definition of this, I thought I drove it moderately hard yesterday but it never went past 4k rpm
warming the engine up - some say warming up does nothing, some say it hurts the engine, some say its not required
thanks for your feedback Ladies and gents!
I believe breaking in per the manual is the way to go. Just makes sense to follow the manufacturers guidelines.
As for warming up, I always stay put until the revs drop down and I do a kilometre before reving it hard.
Of course there are conflicting opinions to my approach on all the above.
