Where does the full size 'spare' go?

i have had to replace my rear tire with a spare on the side of the road. best part my friend was driving the car, as he wanted to "test drive". oh and ya rainnnn damit. so i was lucky, i have 17inch rims n so on the angle in the front trunk went the damaged tire.

i also wanted to remove the front spare and buy the repair kit. well a great point was made, that his tire was ripped apart. this has happend to me in other cars where the repair kit would not solve anything. the last thing that i would want is to wait for a tow truck, can't justify calling someone to fix my blown tire.

so i guess i will have to keep my spare tire, cant lose the weight. guess when i buy 18inch rims im gonna have a problem, cause it seems like a rear 18 with 265 will not fit anywhere.

very odd, never thought of this ordeal

So summarizing the options;

1). Lay it on the passenger seat(if no passenger)

2). Place it in the rear trunk and secure the lid with rope

3). Call Roadside assistance

4). Leave the wheel roadside; locking it to an immovable object or hiding it in the woods for a return pick up

5). Use a tire "fix in a can" if possible.

I was able to place a 17" rear wheel in the front trunk and close it all the way.

This is a guy I saw at my dealer.

I watched him drive in with the little red spare on the left rear. Then he picked up his 18" Carrera wheel that was at the dealer for a new tire.

I watched him to see what he was going to do to take it home so he could replace it for the spare.

He threw it in the rear trunk and used a bungee cord. Then took off.
