I was surprised to find the spare tire was the standard donut style. My 2001 is 300 had the same exact rim and tire as stock, aside from the finish.

It would also be better if the tpms light flashed when any of the tires got below 10 psi.

I found the tire with 4psi. I'm hoping I didn't damage the rim. Does look like it. We will see.

That's pretty much flat. You didn't notice you had a flat tire?

Nope. Just acted funny through two corners, so I stopped and checked the pressure on the dash and freaked. No damage. Les schwab fixed it for free in about thirty minutes. Great guys. It's common where I live to have the tpms light to go on and off around this time of year. We have nights that get down in the teens, then 70 in the day time. I still should have checked though.
