Hey,

I blew a rear tire on my S last night. Dark, country road. All driveways were sloped and gravel. Drove less about a mile on it and found a church with a paved parking lot and proceeded to put the spare on.

All that went ok, even quickly. No rim damage either.

Anyway, I went to put the spare in the front trunk, and the hood wouldn't close. I tried the rear though I knew it wouldn't fit. I tried the front again and got the 'safety latch' closed, but after thinking about that, decided against it.

So, I turned my floormats upside down, placed them on the passenger seat, and sat the tire on that.

Good thing I didn't have a passenger.

Anyone know what the official stragety is?

BTW, I have Bridgestone S-03's on order.
