Smile Atlas spare tire... tell me what I need to know!

Newbie alert!!!
My Atlas is on order (January delivery). So I know there is NO spare tire. Yes I can buy one. But they weigh a lot... So, what say the EXPERTS on the issue of spare tires on an Atlas???

First off, welcome aboard! I'm sure someone with an Atlas and some ideas will come along soon enough. Best wishes on an earlier-than-expected arrival of your new RV.

Congratulations on your new Atlas!!

I would get a tire pressure monitoring system and not worry for now about a spare tire... Make sure you inspect your tires before/after each trip. Replace them when necessary... and just enjoy your Atlas.

I own a 2019 Atlas and there is no spare. But fear not, just buy one of these and you will at least be able to partially have some security.

The Continental kit as above does not supply enough air pressure for a Sprinter Van. The kit is for "Up to" 3 Bar. Sprinter needs north of 4 Bar.

It will be enough to get you to the next gas station to top it off.

Slime puts out a good kit that will work well with Airstream tires and fully inflate tires. The rub is it will only repair a hole quarter of an inch or less. Very easy to use
