Spare Tire (Tyre) Size
#3
![Default](/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
A full size spare wheel ceased to be offered as an option when different sized wheels with directional tyres became the norm.
As suggested above, a full size front can be used. I did this with my 2001 on 18" Impellars where the fronts were 8.5J and the rears 9J but haven't bothered with the 20" on my 2005.
If you do decide to carry a full sized spare, the luggage compartment floor has to be fitted in the upper position.
If you continue to rely on the skinny spare, the pressure needs to be checked regularly as they don't appear to hold the recommended 60 psi for too long.
