Depending on the package and options, a full-sized spare tire fits under the resr deck despite the battery location.

Compact spare, no? Or was it actual a full size tire in the earlier (2008) cars???

Pretty sure a 255/55R18 fits below mine. I thought about carrying one. Or it was narrower? That was almost ten years go, I guess.

Just wondering... pretty sure it was a compact only. Neither here nor there in this thread....



Funny story- when I was ordering my 2010, I saw that there was an option for a "Compact Spare wheel and tire..... $150".


I thought 'screw that, I'll take the full size for free!'


Idiot, car came with nothing when it arrived.



(I lemoned it, the '12 replacement I ordered the spare... once burnt, twice learnt and all that.)
