I noticed that the radiator fan was kicking on more than usual so I
dropped the clamshell, pulled out the spare and took a peek under
there. A piece of foil-backed insulation was blocking some of the
airflow so I trimmed it off. Then I wondered if it makes any difference
in the air flow from the radiator when the wheel sits in the clamshell
right side up or upside down.


Has anyone noticed any difference?
Which way do you keep your spare?


Just curious...
