That is good advice, especially considering that the tires are readily accessable on the 240's.

To go one step further, yes, those $10 air pumps do work. The fix-a-flat cans do help also, but end up being really messy when it comes to repairing the tire properly.

Best bet is to replace the "special" spare with a real tire, preferbly the same size as the current 4 tires. You're not limited to just a few dozen miles at a crawling pace ...
