R1S Spare Tire & Onboard Air Compressor - All the details and how it works

[Pixelshot]

Several people have asked about the spare on the R1S. It's a compressed spare (deflated) but, as we all know, there's an air compressor on board. So, the big question is how does it work. I went through the whole process. No, I'm not a mechanic (I just play one on TV) so if you DIY this be careful. But it does work. And it's pretty cool also.

Thanks. I was always curious about the deflation process. How cool that it retracts to its original position!!

One of the lucky few to have this kit. Glad it works. Hopefully they show up in the gear shop before 2024.
