You never know when you'll need to use it.

Your friendly tip of the day.

**Phlip** · 06-09-2005, 09:30 PM

Somebody have a bad day?

Pank · 06-09-2005, 09:34 PM

this guy is speaking the truth.

this happened to me a few months ago, this is what happens when you DONT inflate your spare, then drive on it.

SEE YOU LATER, BEAD

krustindumm · 06-10-2005, 04:59 PM

just a note, when people's car's come in for major services (15k, 30k, etc...) I check the spare tire pressure if the trunk is empty

Ian · 06-10-2005, 09:47 PM

call AAA

i personally havent had a spare tire in my 240 EVER

i should probably get one or something...lol
i'd be gangster w/ my 30mm spacers on a spare tire uber flush spare!!!

Ritz S14 · 06-10-2005, 09:56 PM

Takes a lot more than 30mm to make a spare flush.... heh

***S14DB*** · 06-10-2005, 09:57 PM

I need to use my AAA card. Haven't since I got the 240.

**Phlip** · 06-10-2005, 10:37 PM

I have my roadside assistance through my insurance company, I have always had it that way

richardxfeng · 06-11-2005, 02:19 AM

My friends and roomates used all my AAA quota.

Blues13 · 06-11-2005, 02:45 AM

it's called get a can of fix-a-flat..

nrg · 06-11-2005, 03:22 AM

fix-a-flat doesn't always work. What if your tire is shreded? hah
I've been needing to fix my spare tire.
Also, remember to never run a spare tire on the front wheels. if front is flat, swap the rear tires to the front and spare on the back.
plus spare doesn't clear z32 calipers

justinhustle · 06-11-2005, 09:20 AM

Ditto, I never have a spare in my car, hopefully i don't get a flat *knock on wood*, but I dont have a jack in my car either, I only have tools to fix intercooler piping...

AAA or friends will be my saving grace.

I believe that is for FWD cars. one little tire + one big tire in the back will wear on a diff really bad. Especially if you have an LSD.

GonadSX · 06-12-2005, 04:14 PM

Strangely enough, in the 5yrs or so I have been driving a car (2yrs of that being the 240 - I know it's not much but yea), I've never had a flat tire or a tire related problem.

I'm sure karma will catch up with me one day and it'll just happen but for time being it hasn't. Which sucks.

sncs14 · 06-12-2005, 08:08 PM

what spare tire?

m0rex · 06-12-2005, 08:43 PM

The only reason i dont care about my spare tire is because i usally dont carry the jack because its shit or the tools to take my aftermarket nuts off. I have a truck at home so when i get a flat i call someone at home up and my truck is like the Initial D van it has everything i need to do a engine swap at a gas station.

theicecreamdan · 06-12-2005, 11:37 PM

i never had troubles with flat tires until the beginning of last summer, I got 3 flats in less than a month.

it was pretty gay, and I will be more careful of the used tires I get from now on

altralosix · 06-12-2005, 11:48 PM

I totally agree. I went to help out a female friend one day with a flat tire and her car was stuck way out in the middle of nowhere. The spare tire was flat. I didn't realize this until I had the car jacked up on the side of the road and the flat off. It made an easy job a much harder one when I had to put the flat tire back on and take the spare to a far away gas station to pump it up.

heh, of course I say this and I don't even have my spare in my car. I have AAA though!

95Blue240sx · 06-13-2005, 10:22 AM

spare tire SUCKS. I got stuck on the side of the road, put the spare tire on, IT was inflated, and i drove about a mile and that shit went flat on me. I dont think spares like lowered cars. Happened 3 [email protected][email protected]$^@&^%*&

axiomatik · 06-13-2005, 11:32 AM

Your car doesn't have to be lowered for that to happen. The only time I've ever gotten a flat, 6 or 7 years ago when my car was bone stock, I put on the spare and it was fully inflated when I got the car back on the ground. I drove about 100 feet and the spare was completely flat. I think we just have crappy spares.
