Subject:directional tires and spare
From:Mark McCulley

Before I spring for a set of Nokian Hakka's I'd like to hear how
others with these tires have solved the spare problem (the Hakka's are
directional and can't be moved from one side to the other after they
are mounted on a wheel). Some suggest mounting the spare to go on the
driver's side but what then happens if you need the spare for a
passenger-side wheel?

My current plan is to buy only 4 tires and use a non-directional tire
on the spare. This is also cheaper than buying 5 Hakka's since I can
use one of the Vredestein Transport Snow's that I have in the garage
as a spare.
