The way I remove tires is wedge my feet under the tire and lift with my toes as well as my hands, makes it easier to move the wheel with less risk of throwing it into the brake disc when it breaks free
It was pouring rain the day I did the video. I plan on doing a follow up with how it drives in city and highway (max 50-55 mph) and anything else I notice.
I like that the tires can be rotated with a heavy duty jack. Looks like having a jack is necessary (of course Fisker Service will be able to fix too if not a DIYer); do you prefer hauling a spare or repairing a bad tire? P.S. What about the ambient light colors vid?
If you can fix the tire with a patch/plug, that's great. Sometimes sidewall damage will make it not repairable and you will need a spare. I would take the spare on long trips. For local driving, it will be in the garage. The ambient light video is in process, I'm just having a lot of other stuff going on right now. Hopefully this weekend I will be able to finish up.

Another great video, thank you for spearheading Ocean customization!
Thank s Matt. See ya at the next meet.
Also, a greatly prefer wheel hubs with studs vs lug bolts...
I'm used to wheel bolts for most of my vehicles. I think my 2015 Murano was the only one in recent memory that had studs.
I got a spare for my BMW i3s from Modern Spare.
Wish it was more like the VW style spare donut where the tire folds in when deflated
That is an interesting idea. I looked Vredestein SpaceMaster tires and none are big enough for the 20" spare wheel.
Thanks for the video, did you happen to actually drive on the spare? How was the ride?

Is there a load rating on that spare tire? I know that EVs require a much higher load limit than a typical ICE car.
The spare load rating is 2756 lbs vs the minimum 1843 lbs specified by Fisker.
Thanks i bought the spare. I have 20 in wheels and it did not come with center caps. Do you have a link so I may purchase them also?
I haven’t no purchased center caps for the spare, so I don’t know what size it uses. I’ll contact the company and see if they know.
Just to clarify. I am looking g
for center caps for the orginal 20 in wheels the vehicle came with.
@@SE7ENAC I see now. I’m not sure where you would get them other than Fisker.

@@MTNRanger Thanks, your YT clips are helpful. Makes sense what you say about the spare v. patch. Looking forward to color!
Thank you. Is there any issue driving with three 22" tires with a spare 20"?
For temporary emergency use, no it's not an issue. It's about 0.7" lower on that corner.
Just curious if you could give me the name for the wheels on the Model 3 in your UA-cam banner?
Those are the original 18" aero wheel covers that I plasti-dipped silver.
@@MTNRanger Ah that makes sense, they look cool
