just wondering if anyone reckons punctures happen on one side of the car or another more? i.e. does the passenger side cop more punctures cos you can't see/judge that side as well as the drivers side?
the reason i'm asking is i have pedes x4 but now need a spare and as pedes are directional, wondering if i'm better off mounting it on the rim for one side or the other.
cheers

agree with the tyre on the passengers side, in my cruiser the i was for ever popping the passenger rear tyre off the rim tryed every thing changed the rim and still did it,

If you've got Simex (Pedes) say good-bye to most of the punctures. Most common will be rolling off the bead. Ive got a Simex spare, but it has never been used. If I do, I figure it will still be better fitted backwards than a mud tire. Your call.
