I'll need to check my 2014 IS F to check the spare rim color, because that makes me curious... both my current Supra and one older one I used to drive had that unattractive mustard yellow compact spare tire too . Luckily I have never had to run them...

Spare tire size: T135/70R18 103M

I'm hoping never to need mine, though for some reason I never feel the need to remove it other than at the track.

Didn't know they came in different colors. My spare in the NSX comes only in "Imola" orange.

That looked like a LOT of fun!

This is also why I don't think spending a lot of money on tires for HPDEs makes sense. Imagine how quickly you will learn your car's handling when it gets loose at such low speeds!
