Ferrari Mailing List: Re: And never remove the front tire while driving!

[Martin Stark (MStark]

OTOH removing the spare, jack, lead knockoff hamer, knockoff wrench, 
etc. from a TR trunk and replacing them with a small air pump and 
sealant bottle improves handling.  18" wheels and tires don't hurt 
either.  Part of it is having adequate torque to steer the rear with 
your right foot.
