I kind of liked the yellow, was joking to my wife that I was going to buy three more (I had a flat after 600 miles on the Mazda5 - took about a week to get it fixed since I was literally the first person to order this tire through the Discount Tire chain (Yokohama 205/50R17, took a couple days for corporate to come up with a price)).anyone had to use their spare yet? Mine is bright yellow, very embarrassing. My 4-year-old came out of preschool on Friday after I had put the spare on, laughing and saying funny wheel, funny wheel. Here's a pic. too funny not to share.
Anyway, just wanted to mention that if you have a flat on a front tire, you are supposed to move a rear tire to the front then put the donut on the rear (per the owner's manual).
If the front tire went flat, first put the jack on the end with the good tire (rear jack point), and swap the good rear tire with the donut spare. Lower the van, bring the jack to the front jacking point, and swap the full-sized tires.I would like to see someone try that on a busy highway with only one jack.(shocked)
