Default Lose the tire?
I was going to drop the spare tire/jack and save some wieght since I have pretty good tires and dont go to far from the house, but I was thinking, doesnt the added weight help traction more than it would help accerleration if I took it out?

No noticable amount of difference in traction, ditch it if you dont mind calling a tow truck if you get a flat
