    Spare Tire

    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...
    Do they ever stop looking?

    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, 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.

    Lightbulb Never used mine either...

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

    Juggling wheels from front to back or vise versa on the side of the road in never convenient . 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 .
