I finally got around to adding a spare to my G8 GT. Sport wheel and
Bridgestone tire ran me about $850. Yes, the spare fits in the whell well.
GM wants to keep me as a customer, so they sent me coupons for 4 FREE oil
changes/tire rotations for my G8 GT (must use between 1/1/10 and 12/30/10).
They also sent me the same 4 FREE coupons for my 2004 Grand Prix GTP. Looks
like my car maintenace needs are mostly met for this year!
Keep on Tigering!
