Hi all,

We recently bought a 2017 Cougar X-Lite TT 33MLS. We're newbies and just came back from out fourth outing. On our return trip from outing #3 we had a blowout on a busy xway about 10 miles from home. I got rid of the china bombs and got a set of Goodyears. So now I'm kinda tire-sensitive. As part of the learning curve, we found out that Class A's apparently don't carry spare tires! Too big & heavy for a mere mortal to change out I guess. On the other hand, a neighbor at the campground where we were had a 2016 Cougar TT, and showed me that he carries TWO spare tires, both mounted on the rear bumper. We had some concerns about what we'd do if we had another blowout while being in BFE somewhere, so that got my attention.

I've not seen anyone else carrying two spare tires on their TT. Your thoughts would be appreciated--is that overkill or wise planning?

Thanks, BD
