I didn't know the spare tire was under the rear of the car until the next day when I opened the trunk to check the spare tire air pressure. I did find it underneath the car which is a very bad place to put a tire if a woman has a flat tire 50 miles from nowhere!
I wonder if Honda originally planned on putting the tire in the compartment since there is a quarter moon of foam holding the tire jack. I checked the underneath of the car and the sheet metal (quarter moon shape) looks as if they planned on a tire going in that compartment. My wife would sure appreciate a tire being in there instead of underneath. And if I were in snow then I would appreciate the tire being there too. It will not be fun laying down in the snow to get the tire support off the hook so the tire can be lowered!
I will take the tire off Saturday and see if it will fit in the back part of the compartment. I may be tearing out that foam!.
And then Honda has the audicity to say check the spare tire pressure every time you check the other tires! If I can't move the tire inside then I will cut an access hole in the tire support sheet metal so I can check the pressure (by crawling under the car).
