Noob/Dummy Tyre change question

[ky.supra]

+1 on Modern Spare kit. I personally used it myself when I had a sidewall blowout on the stock Michelins and I used it to save a supra buddy too.

I apologize for the delay I did not have time to put the spare in the trunk plus it's a mess. However I took some pictures and I'll explain the rest.

This is the spare tire. it's a bit beaten up cuz I haven't used it in a while and it's just collecting dust.

This is the inside comes with a jack, and basically every other tool you would need to change a tire out

There are 2 hooks and straps you would use the 2 hooks and the straps on 4 hook points in the car so that it does not move around.

Excuse the mess in the trunk bet these are the 4 hook points you would run the straps in 2 of them and attach the hook in the other 2 point it sits dead center in the trunk.

And these are the 4 hook points in each corner

I hope this explains everything, and it's all clear. Please ask me if you have any questions.

Thanks a lot bro for sharing, that is awesome.

That's pretty much exactly what I'm gonna do then on mine.

If you have any questions, ask ahead. Also, I'll try and find a picture of the tire in the trunk, and if not I'll find the time and put mine in.

Too bad the USDM Supras don't have those hooks. They can be retrofitted though as the threaded holes are there already.

My right rear tire picked up a massive bolt driving home from work tonight. Was able to limp home thanks to the leak being pretty slow (about 1 psi every 5 miles). Even though the leak is slow the bolt went in at an extreme angle and managed to delaminate a bunch of tread. So the tire is toast.

I already have a good plug kit. Now I just need to find a scissor jack, lug wrench, and place to stow them in the car in the event that I have a more catastrophic tire problem in the future.
