2000 miles drive
 

i will be out of town for a week and planning to drive 2000 miles. i have 08 4.8 with 8000 miles and 20 wheels with no spare tire. any suggestion on what to check and prepare for x5. thanks

Your car is brand new, what's to check? Fill it up and go.

Buy one of these to take along:

Safety Spair (#70005)

Smart Spair 15 Minute Emergency Tire Repair (#SS-PDQ/06)

can I use my mobility kit from my m3

Are yours the Dunlop Sportmaxx runflats? Look up some places that either carry them or repair them along your route. ;) No spare because of 3rd row or another reason?

That's a good question. Such mobility kits typically only support up to a certain size tire. You should check if your size is supported.

screw everything... fill up and bouNce

In all seriousness, you should be prepared for a few things that might come up... I would suggest putting together a kit with at least the basics, I would suggest:
- first aid kit
- jumper cables
- tow rope
- cell phone + charger or extra batteries
- flashlight
- warning triangle
- power bars or similar
- warm jacket/sweater + warm cap
- blanket
- flashlights
- extra water
- hose repair tape
- air compressor
- basic tool kit inc swiss army knife
- $100 cash + change
- quart of oil
- collapsible temporary gas container
- gloves (thick & latex)
- some large zip lok bags
- roll of toilet paper
- package of baby wipes

Woo-hoo! 3,000th post!

I have dunlop and 3rd row seat and no spare tire. My only concern is having a flat tire and you can't find a place to fix the tire. Anybody here did experience a flat tire while in a long trip.

Why 20 wheels? you only need 4 right? :thumbup:
