Which reminds me I have yet to do my spare. I have the beads, just too lazy to take off my trunk and spare.

One thing I should mention is that two times now while checking my tire pressure the Schrader valve didn't reseal. I had to blast a little air thru the stem to get them to seal. I'm assuming a bead or two were stuck in the valve? I used the special valves that came with the beads.

Anyone else experience this?
