so i was heading back from the nissian pavillion last night and i noticed a hard pull to the left so i pulled over to the shoulder, and what do i see but a totally flat tire...from what i don't know...could have been anything for all i know. But yeah so get all the stuff out to change it and put on the spare, so i get to the wheel lock and its striped so that took me like forever to get off. But thats not what im complaing about its that when i did take off the tire it didn't fit in the trunk where does Honda think i'm going to put the tire on my pasengers lap.....im mean come on if i was alone fine but i wasn't so i had to call up my buddies to have them put it in there trunk and take then take it to my house. All and all it was a long night just for on flat tire.

 

.... its okay bro... you got out unharmed and thats all that matters... sometimes honda just pisses me off...

 

Did you put the tool kit back after changing the tire then put the tire on top of it? If so thats why it didn't fit. I found if I take the stock tool kit out and put it somewhere else 1 tire easily fits in there but with it in the tire has no chance.

People don't read the OWNER'S MANUAL and then complain to Honda because they couldn't figure something out that was clearly written in the OWNER'S MANUAL?

 

Um, in the trunk after reading the owner's manual?

Seriously, I carry a can of fix-a-flat in my trunk. Works on all but the most heinous blow outs. Repair guys hate it, but saves me the potential two-tire greasy swap (look this one up in the manual if you don't know what I mean).

I'd rather pay the tire repair place an extra $10 bucks than go through the hassle.

Others may disagree, it all depends what your time is worth.

 

... and please don't tell us that you mounted the spare on the rear of the car!

 

about reading the owners manual...

Procedure for flat rear tire:

1) Jack up FRONT of car.
2) Remove front tire on same side as flat rear tire. Replace with spare.
3) Jack up rear of car, replace rear tire with front tire.
4) Put tools back in tool tray, put tool tray were spare used to be.
5) Put flat rear tire in trunk where tool tray used to be.
6) Close trunk and drive safely.

 

I've left this here long enough. Moving to S2000 Talk. Better have your flamesuit on!!
