Question Spare Tire hmmmm?

Ok so I got my FD a few weeks ago and was lookin over the car and checked the spare tire area, and the wheel with my spare is yellow. Just wondering if anyone else had a suprise in their trunk or are they all yellow?

mine is yellow, and looks exactly like the spare that was in my 240sx when i had to use it. Now heres the weird thing, can you guys check your spare. . . .Mine says "Do not exceed 150 mph." yet the friggin tire is like the width of my arm. i just thought that was funny

Are you sure it doesn't say "Do not exceed 50 mph."? Thats the normal warning on spares.

naw, mine has a 1 in front of it, thats why i was cracking up when i had to change tires bc of some stupid construction work (nails, glass, etc). Me and a few friends actually laughed about it, and we joked about somehow fitting it to his integra, hehe.

The joke of the day was basically Chris' spare is rated higher than John's speedo in his car

Did you guys notice that all Mazda's spare tires are made by Enkei?? I was shocked!

I put them on the front of my Mustang this past weeked when i ran her at the track. I had to modify the center hole to fit.....but it made driving down the track so much easier!

I have taken mine out, but not for a weight reason. Its b/c mine is flat right now. Its made by Enkei. I thought thatwas pretty cool when i noticed that while changing my flat. It would have been really cool if mazda had put enkei's on all four corners.
