I'm in Florida, so I don't need to worry about snow or really cold weather.
Run summers dude. No reason not to in Florida. You can run them year round.

True. Even in the winter it'll only get down to maybe 40F for a week.
IMO the summers were fine until you got below 20F. Then it started getting a bit sketchy.

Used the spare tire today.

My practically brand new Hankook Ventus tire blew out a loud bang while going along an interstate exit about 65mph. Pulled off and it was completely flat. The tire has only 2k miles on it and was bought this year in March. I didn’t see that I hit anything in the road but it looks like the inside of my rim took so damage so I must have hit something.

Discount Tire didn’t mention any warranty to offer despite the tire being so new, they’re ordering me a new Hankook and should have the tire and time back tomorrow. For now the donut remains installed

Today I zapped my Type R with a Shrink Ray Gun that also sent it back in time to when it was just red. Result was it got smaller to 1/18 the original size. Good news is, more garage space for other crap. Bad news, I can’t drive it this way. Where’s the Unzap button?
(Insert girl screaming sound byte).
Not unzip unzap!

I've always been told not to use spares on your drive axles. You should swap a rear to the front and use the spare on the back.

FK8 Type R transmission is the weak link of this car... especially if we mod and push your car.. should really change it often. Definitely cant follow honda reminder for it.
