Default GTS spare tire

I had an aftermarket donut spare (along with scissors jack and wrench) from a 996 for my 2013 991 C2. I also bought a 7 mm spacer and longer lug nuts. It fit perfectly as a replacement for my front wheels. In the case of replacing the rear wheels, I just had to put a good front wheel on the rear and place the spare on the front. It worked great. It also fit in the frunk with room-to-spare. The whole thing cost

LexVan-

The weather in Chicago must be mind-numbing cold a bit early. Perhaps you should switch your circulating oil back to 0W-40 from 5W-50.

Sorry but my repetitive problems with posting my complete thread and LexVan's usual insightful insight has discouraged me from continuing the post.

Beautiful today. Left my coat in the truck. Walked to lunch. About a 1/2 mile each way. Sunny. Mid 40s. Going to see Chi-Raq in about an hour.

My car has been under cover in my 64 degree heated garage since mid October. That's where it will stay till March Madness when I take my yearly road trip to see some of the Midwest action. So, the 5W50 stays.
