    Very few people carry 2 spares as standard like we do in Pilbara and Kimberley...

    I'd hope everyone pack a second for any long trip, but very few Defenders make it more than 200km at a time off the black stuff!

    In Perth and surrounds I must admit I also only carry one, but then I usually hang with other Land Rover owners and there's plenty spares to go around...

    Cheers,

    Lou

    yep.

    I carted 2 x spares all over Queensland for years with my previous vehicles and (touch wood) I never needed them. That's not to say I will never have the misfortune to hole two tyres, but I am happy with the runs on the board thus far.

    I do carry a pretty good repair kit, and am quite content to go with the one spare for general duties.

    Should I embark on a particularly tyre-averse journey (e.g. off track remote travel) I would certainly pack a second spare.

    Cheers,
    Nige

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.
