Yup it takes a while...get spare started on air first, then do the other steps. Por 911 same thing!

Default No...but I didn't have the OEM compressor so I have a $25 one from the farm store:)

That and I must admit that I "directed" my husband how to put the tire on I was THE brains behind the operation and I DID pump up the tire...I didn't think it was any more of a hassle than any other as I think they are ALL a hassle...I feel your pain, but do get a better compressor (p.s. it doesn't fit in the wheel well though

Default Another benefit of a second set of wheels; OE doubles as full size spare!

i havent use the spare and i hope i never have to. i keep a plug kit in the spare well and have used it. when practicle i leave the OE wheel in the back for a full size spare. this has to be one of the worst design aspects of this car.
