Full size spare for '05 sedan? - 3/25/2005 11:09:33 AM    Tonyride   Posts: 26 Joined: 2/22/2005 Status: offline Was just wondering if anyone have a full size for their current model year Accord sedan. If so then what size wheel and tire will fit in the spare wheel well? I go on long trips and the bogus temp spare won't get me home if I'm more than 50 miles away. _____________________________ 2005 EX, 4 Cyl w/Leather and Navi Post #: 1

If you look in at the spare you'll see that there is some space around the spare and the sides of the wheel well indicating a larger tire may fit in there. _____________________________ 2005 EX, 4 Cyl w/Leather and Navi (in reply to Patrick) Post #: 3

Since a spare tire is mainly for you to put it on temporary. The thing about a full size spare tire it that it will take up some trunk space and weigh down your car which might slightly change your mpg. (in reply to remington870_20ga) Post #: 5

I'm not too concerned about style because I'm prepared to use a regular steel wheel. I drive up to Canada from NJ quite often and that is a 500 mile trip each way so peace of mind is key. quote: ORIGINAL: remington870_20ga I think he meant for peace of mind and style. _____________________________ 2005 EX, 4 Cyl w/Leather and Navi (in reply to remington870_20ga) Post #: 8

Out here as long as you have a spare that can go 10 miles you can make it to a tire shop. Hell even our costco's have tire shop and they are extremely nice. While I was getting gas one was smoking a ciggarrette (sp?) and he saw my tire looked a lil low so told e me to pull it around. Turns out I had a nail in it but it was repairable and he repaired it on the spot. Best part was, it was free. My dad was with me because I was still learning stick. It was the coolest thing ever. He may have lost some money there but he gained a customer from my dad. (in reply to Tonyride) Post #: 9

RE: Full size spare for '05 sedan? - 3/28/2005 2:48:36 PM    Tonyride   Posts: 26 Joined: 2/22/2005 Status: offline yeah but when you're on I-90 (NY State Thruway) for about 120+ miles in the middle of nowhere and you don't know any of the towns you pass through (which are far and few between), it is extremely difficult to find a tire shop let alone one that is open and has the correct size tire. I know I'll probably never be in that situation (knock on wood) but I guess I have the boyscout mentality of always being prepared. _____________________________ 2005 EX, 4 Cyl w/Leather and Navi (in reply to 2000Ex) Post #: 10

Even my civic can too. (in reply to CivicEX) Post #: 12
