Well, i doubt it's safe to drive using the spare w/ 3 285/60/16 pirellis so if anyone driving stock tires is in need of a spare, let me know and i can try and get it outa here some time soon...

I think that was a mistake from the factory, and you have a spare for a Proton. ;)

I had a flat and had to use the yellow spare, ;eekb; what a strange sound it made. It made my vx sound and ride like a piece of junk, I guess they did that on purpose to make sure we fix it as soon as possible.;)

That sound it made was most likely coming from your transfer case, not the spare wheel itself.

... I keep the donut just in case I get a situation where FIX A FLAT can't get me to the nearest NTB :naughty:

Juggling wheels from front to back or vise versa on the side of the road in never convenient :noo:. Just make sure your tire tech washes off all that FIX A FLAT from your alloy wheels before they put the tire back on. I hear prolonged exposure can do rim damage :yes:.
