I guess advertised trunk space is a higher priority for USA cars than a spare tire
no spare would work? obviously incorrect since they sell the car with spare tire in different markets.
Yeah, I asked the service guy if the regular spare from a lower trim would work ( I know front brakes are bigger but was asking him anyway) he said the Si and CTR have special wheels and tires that have to be on the car or it will throw off a abs code. Wth, lol, trying not to laught was hard. I'll find a spare one day, maybe a wreaked Si if I get lucky.
I dream of a day when dealers will say, "I'm really not sure, but I'll see if I can find out" instead of uncontrollably spewing lies and ignorance to make themselves feel important.
Yea just say hey I’m not sure.. lol, Just move a rear tire to the front and put the spare on the back. I think that’s what the CA manual suggests anyway due to the LSD.
Didn't think of that. My old grand Cherokee had the quadra drive, all tires had to be withing a certain diameter or it would screw with the 3 limited slips in the awd system.
Well for my job... i would not have time to wait for a tow and tire fix, really need a spare to ensure i can get to appointments on time.
Yup, it's 10-15 minutes vs a couple of hours (at best)
I'm very interested to know this too. "do-nut" spares are just nearly worthless in my book. Last time I put my spare on my Kia Optima, I was so busy I had to go like a week until I had time to have the torn tire replaced. Can't do that with a do-nut.
