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.

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 :)

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 ;)

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.

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.

what spare tire?

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.

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

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!

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 times!@!!!!$@$^@&^%*&

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.
