Spare Tire Question

Re: Spare Tire Question
Wow... that's a shock. I'd swear that I had read an article or had seen it posted that the wheel well was designed to hold a full size tire and wheel. Was it very close? Maybe it'll hold a standard wheel and a FLAT tire?!!!

Re: Spare Tire Question
I used a measuring tape instead of actually taking one of my wheels and tires off, but it didn't look close at all.
The spare sits on a bit of a "riser" towards the front of the well, and I don't even think it's wide enough in general to fit the circumference of a full size wheel and tire.

Re: Spare Tire Question
Okay... that got my curiosity up... so I searched and FOUND the article! Here's the review:

Here's the actual quote: "A thoughtful touch is a spare tire well large enough to hold the full-size tire the compact spare will replace temporarily in the event of a flat."
I don't know where they got their data. Sorry if I passed along bad information!
