FIX - FLAT on the Coupe
Has anyone used their spare tire yet? I was checking mine out today, but didn't actual put it on. I had to laugh though, what a crackup. I would have loved to have been on the design team for it. It's creative packaging at it's best. I like the little air compressor too. I was telling a friend that my car has dual kompressors for an extra punch from the 1.8. I had him going for a minute.

Yes, I unfortunately had to use it when a pot hole pinched the side wall of the tire, low profile evolution package Continental. It took about 3 minutes to do the job of replacing the tire with the spare. It is an incredibly good system, loved the gloves and drop sheet. The down side was the new tire listed at $417 (Cdn).

I had the privalege of using the spare tire last weekend, the system works really well, but keeping the car under 50 mph is real hard not to mention iritating, but at that speed I did not notice a degridation in ride quality. Infact I did not even notice a degradation in ride quality when my tire went down, just the whump whump sound that told me I needed to pull over.
