Yeh I know that's true, but I don't think you can feasibly carry two spares and still carry touring luggage, and is it that difficult to source CSR tyres, as I said I had a load of contact numbers with me for local Caterham dealers and local Members along the way, I was amazed i was rarely more than 150K from an agent. Now maybe they would not all have CSR tyres but it gives some confidence, If we worry about Flats, Clutch cables, overheating, accelerator cables et al we would never tour, I think that 2 or 3 cans of weld, and a repair kit certainly give me enough peace of mind to tour. If enough people are concerned why dont all of us who tour organise with someone like MOG to have a few common sized tyres stashed there, although I would be surprised if he doesn't have a good selection anyway, we could club together and buy them up front and then we would at least know there was a good chance of tyres a quick courier journey away from most of the touring areas, and maybe a set somewhere in mid France.
