I don't know about everyone else but when I go on a long trip (ie., summer vacation) I need the cargo space. The spare tire greatly reduces the precious cargo space. Really liked the 2024 Hybrid CRV but can't get past this issue. Wonder how many sales are lost due to this shortcoming.
Same here. An option would be to get a roof-rack mounted storage box, either for the extra luggage or the tire.
But then we're talking about $500 for the spare and $500+ for the box. Plus, I prefer to not load things on the roof, it reduces MPG and therefore partially defeats the extra fuel efficiency you're paying for when you get a hybrid.
It's a tough call.
I can tell you about one lost sale...mine.
Last year I canceled my crv hybrid sport touring deal because of no spare and no fog lights especially at this price. I live in a rural area without street lights. It would be a nightmare for me if the tire gets torn at night in the middle of nowhere. So I bought the toyota rav4 hybrid instead.
@@cloudysky9395 does the rav4 hybrid have a spare tire?
@rc2257 yes ,it comes with a spare tire.
i bought the spare tire and actually installed it to be sure it worked and it works just fine and a I am happy and feel more secure with it on board all the time
Hi, were you able to fit a full size spare under the trunk?
Right?! IT's almost as if car manufacturers should include a spare tire with their vehicles. Oh wait, for DECADES they've done exactly that. AND Toyota includes spare tires on every Hybrid they sell so the "There's no room cuz of the battery" argument FAILS completely. Toyota is once again kicking Honda's butt. Honda should sort this out ASAP or they'll continue to accrue bad press and lose sales.
You give up space but rather then trying to inflate flat tire in sub zero temperatures.
Thank you for producing this video.
Living in Canada, my 2024 Hybrid Touring model comes with the same 235/55 R19 wheels with Continental Cross Contact tires as your vehicle. I have investigated Modern Spare, asked them a lot of questions, to which they have promptly replied. The correct replacement/spare for my vehicle has the same 29” diameter rolling size that the 19” Honda wheels have. So, I do not have to worry about stressing the drive train, like I might if I was to put on a smaller diameter temporary spare.
Why is this important? Because this generation of CRV has a different AWD system than 5th generation models had, in that it is always engaged, and always delivering some torque to the rear wheels. Having a difference in rolling diameter could possible cause the computer to start throwing codes, over time as well as likely causing overheating issues. This AWD system also is fully engaged on reverse as well. (something Hondas Canada told me)
I will likely order up the Modern Spare kit, (tire, rim, tire bag, jack and wrench) and have it shipped to me here in Canada (it does not seem to be available anywhere in Canada). The catch is, factoring in the exchange rate between the US dollar and the Canadian dollar means that by the time I have it delivered, the cost is somewhere near $735.00 Canadian. Seems rather high, until I got a price on the Honda 19” black alloy rim with a Continental 235/55R19 Cross Contact mounted, then it seemed a fair buy. The plus of the MS kit is the space saving size - only 6 inches thick.
Where I live in Saskatchewan it is most common to drive for at least two hours at highways speeds to travel from one city to another, hence the reason for the MS Kit.
I have a cargo shade kit in the back of my 2024 Hybrid Touring, and the Modern Spare kit works well standing up behind the mechanism. (I keep the tire to the right to insure decent visibility while I'm driving). I dealt with Modern Spare directly and they do give discounts (I got a military discount; perhaps they have others). Have only been to BC, Alberta, Ontario and Quebec, but not Saskatchewan, but worked with RCAF personnel stationed in the U.S. (Montana) that were from there. Wish we had your weather! It got to 120F (48.9C) this summer here in Las Vegas. Modern Spare is a good, though expensive, option. Good luck!
I always wondered about this; felt uneasy about going on a roadtrip without a spare tire. Awesome video. I am glad there is a solution!
Glad it was helpful!
Just make sure you strap it down securely or else it will cause serious damage in an accident or hard braking
@@EhsOfBassyes very dangerous ina accident
I would strap that down securely somehow. If you had a collision or a roll over, you don't want that launching at you and smashing your head like a squashed bug.
I used 500lb tie downs in my latest video, thanks for the suggestion!
That's a nice kit from Modern Spare. Easy to store and move around. I was planning to buy a CR-V spare tire assembly and jack kit from a wrecking yard to take with me on long trips.
Interesting & informative. I think that Modern Spare will have a bright future, since so many cars are no longer coming with spare tires! The only thing I would have liked in your review was the PRICE of the spare kit you purchased. Thanks.
Thank you. Its a range~ 299-499 ish, i left it out since prices tend to change often these days.
It takes 1 minute to click the link to go to the site and see the price.
Nice find but I absolute refuse to buy any vehicle without a spare. I was driving an hit a massive pot hole once that actually bent my rim and flattened my tire immediately. It was awful weather and it was bad enough having to change the tire in it but it would have been even worse if I had to wait on a wrecker for a tow. NO THANKS!! Honda you need to do better at designing your vehicles.
It's my understanding that space is designed to keep the battery ventilated and cool, so it's not actually wasted space.
Idk. You can clearly see the tire well from non hybrid versions.
@@DrHondaCRV it is. But it's function is different in the hybrid for the battery.
In fact, no. The main reason is that elsewhere, the car is available as a plug-in hybrid. That battery fills that entire area.
My 2024 CR-V Hybrid Sport came with a tire repair system. I understand that there could be severe tire damage that this would not work for but it should work for many situations for the avg driver. Did yours not come with one?
*Edit - I drive my CRV for Uber and Lyft in Seattle. I recently had it in the shop for a repair and was renting a Polestar 2 that had a severe flat. This also did not come with a spare and only had a flat repair kit which completely failed so I then had to hire a tow truck to take the Polestar 2 back to Hertz and I also lost an entire day of work and pay. I want to get the spare kit mentioned on this video but I have to keep my back area clear for passenger’s luggage. Not sure what I’m going to do at this point.
-Having had multiple tires damaged beyond repair over decades in personal and commercial vehicles- a spare which can be installed quickly is a must to me. Perhaps the "average" driver will never need the spare. Prudence, however recognizes the real potential for terminal tire damage beyond the scope of a repair kit. I won't have safety dependent on a car manufacturer deciding an average user won't need a spare. I like the CRV but lack of a spare or non-intrusive mounting point for a customer-acquired spare means no CRV purchase. There's room under the back mat for a well-engineered spare or mount- but Honda's (and others') decision to omit this is a deal-killer.
@@brianormond111 I just had a flat with a rental Polestar 2 and the repair kit completely failed to work and I still ended up waiting for a tow because it didn’t have a spare either. After this experience, I’ll have to get a spare for my CRV too.
We bought one and love it!!
Thanks for the review! What is the total weight of that complete spare in the bag?
You might clarify that the Sport Touring is 19" OEM tire but this spare is 18". Dealership won't endorse this practice but it will work for short distances. Also you should make it clear this is a sponsored video. But you're correct, Modern Spare is filling a need for hybrid owners.
As long as the overall diameter of the spare rim and tire is close to the overall diameter of the factory rim and tire, there’ll be no issues. If the tire on the 18” spare rim had the same sidewall height as the tire on the factory 19” rim, then there would be a big problem. But as you can see, the sidewall height on the spare tire is noticeably taller than the factory tire’s sidewall. Since they decreased the diameter of the spare rim, they increased the sidewall height of the spare tire to come close or match the overall diameter of the factory rim and tire.
@@Wiggy74 that's correct! 18" and 19" rim diameter have the same bolt config there is not problem at all.
Same tire diameter, just the rim is 19 or 18
Did you ever consider switching your tires out and getting run flats? I go back & forth to Vegas monthly and that lack of a spare makes me hesitant to get this car.
Nah. The fuel milage would tank. I just got the spare and strapped down in the trunk.
Trucks obviously still have spare tires. At least the F-150, Silverado, and Ram do. However, many vehicles are ditching them.
Even my $50,000 2015 Acura MDX did not come with a spare! First thing i bought was a spare kit from Acura, which, I believe, is no longer available. The car did come with a can of “sealant “ and an air pump but that is unusable for anything but a minor tire malfunction. JMHO.
My $50,000 Ford Explorer Sport had a spare. Honda's premium brand is Acura and they're clearly pushing this "no spare" BS on the public. Well I'm never buying one of their vehicles if it doesn't come with a spare. I don't care if there's an option like in the video. When you spend this much on a vehicle, you should expect a spare, jack and other emergency equipment. Also sealant is bad - it really messes up the inside of the wheels and tire shops hate to clean that crap up when you finally get a new tire installed.
@@jontnoneya3404 I couldn’t agree with you more. MDX gets a spare if the vehicle is 4x4. After buying my 2015 MDX not 4x4 I purchased their spare tire kit which is no longer available, I understand. We travel in some remote highways of CA and no spare is not an option but, IMHO, the vehicle is well worth it. Why not spend the $100 or so and have a spare? No spare is becoming more and more prevalent. Just be aware of this spare tire option.
@@raymondmiller2780 - well becasue the option in the video isn't $100 it's more like $500!! AND it takes up cargo space. If you need the space, sure you can take it out but I've had a tire fail on a local trip. I hit a pot hole HARD and it bent my rim and I was only like 5-10 miles from my home. I mean if this happens with a no-spare vehicle, now I've got to call AAA and hope they show up in an hour.
@@jontnoneya3404 the portable spare is an option and, certainly, your choice. It comes with a jack and tools to remove the tire so whether it’s $100 or $500 everything is included . Vehicles without spares are becoming more the norm so if you demand a spare your demand might not be granted by the manufacturer. Also, many hybrids don’t have spares because the spare’s space is taken up by the battery. When choices have to be made it’s ALWAYS up to the individuals wants, needs, and desires.
@@jontnoneya3404 the 4x4 Acura comes with a spare. The choice is yours.
plug kit. normally get nail every 25k. only time i was really nervous was in the yukon territory in canada. there was no cell signal. no way to call road side assistant. how much does the spare weight and how much? part 2 changing stock to spare. i don't even know how to use the stock air pump that came with the vehicle. $379.95 - $489.95
I've spent the last 40 years and haven't had a flat or any problems that would force me to use a spare tire! Not that it can't happen but with the quality of tires that are produced it's not a common factor anymore or at least not as much.
So I take that modern spare will not fit in the battery storage area ?
Nope. I tried. Haha
@@DrHondaCRVmaybe there a smaller option or cheaper? I just got a 2025 hybrid sport and I love it but tbh I almost gave up for this reason. Btw did your came with lock wheel nuts? Thanks for the advices in this video!
this company appears to be selling quality kits. They seem to run around $500 for the tire + their case & kit or slightly less without the carrying case and accessories. I hate that i need to consider buying this kit for my hybrid vehicle. For those of you buying a new hybrid vehicle in the near future, just know that many do not come with spares & you should try to negotiate lowering the total purchase price of the new vehicle by how much you will need to spend on a kit like this.
You don't mention the CR V tire inflation repair kit behind the driver side rear wheel cover...how does it work, is it effective...
That is an inflation kit. If the tire sidewall rips. It wont do a thing. Strictly speaking replacement here. Ive mentioned it in past videos. But i will make another video. Thank you
@@DrHondaCRV
What kind of drivers use the tire until sidewall ripped apart ?
Use good quality tires....
@@vc4825 i meant if the sidewall blows out. C
@@vc4825 can happen if you hit something
Can mount this kit standing up (tie-downs/wraps to the side or one back of back seat)? It will occupy much less space. If yes, can you show us a photo how to do it? Thank you.
btw do you still plan on installing fog lights? It's pretty scary to drive in the rain, I can barely see anything with the weak headlights
I do. I just got the wires in the mail. Just need to sort out how to connect them and get a switch inside the console
I suggest you to make sure that if you install fog lights it will not interfere with your original electrical warranty.
It frustrates me that the cr-v doesn't include fog lights. There's actually a space for them. I was hoping Honda would add them to the 2024 or 2025 models, as most manufacturers add minor upgrades in between major model revisions. The 2025 CR-V is now the 3rd year of this incarnation and it's pretty much identical to the 2023 models.
The FLAW in buying a hybrid is the eventual SHOCK you will receive when you see the price will have to pay to replace that battery 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
What can u even put there near the battery??
How about tire goo? I carry a bottle in my CRV hybrid. Didn’t know about this option. Thank you
I mean the car comes with an inflator kit. But what happens when your side wall blows out. Or you accidentally run over something large and the tire tears.
Not knocking the video or the idea as both are great. I have two issues in carrying a spare tile like that. One is safety. If you have to stop short at highway speeds that thing is going to go flying forward resulting in a very dangerous if not deadly situation. The other concern I have is I do long distance trips (hence the need for a spare) but when I do so I have a lot of luggage and pets I need to transport. So I have no room really for a spare tire carried in the back. It bums me as I was going to consider a CRV (possibly trade in a Tucson) but I don't think this will work for me. A Rav4 is the only other option but the reports of bad road noise really concern me.
Yea. Thanks for the headsup. The rear seats should keep it back there. But i will invest in tie down straps to keep it locked in
i wanted to buy a rav4 hybrid , just for this reason alone. But it was cramped and interiors looked really cheap. Once i test drove the CRV, there was no going back to the Rav4.
Would the modern spare tire fit in the extra space in the battery compartment?
No. Unfortunately no tire would fit there. Maybe a toolbox at most
did you notice a difference in mpg driving with the spare?
Ironically its gone up over time. But no. Never went down. Its not that heavy. And i generally drive solo.
My car was 33MPG first couple thousand miles. Leveling out at 36 by 20k miles. Last 2000 miles I’ve done 41 MPG.
Same roads and drives. Changing air filter was a big boost.
I love my 2023 CRV Hybrid, but sometimes I wonder if I should’ve gone with a Tesla model Y 🤔
Im not a fan of charge anxiety. And egg shaped cars 😅
Range anxiety is real on any extended drive.
they also don't come with a spare either.
How is the CRV not shaped like and egg?
How much for that brand of spare tire,you never mentioned $$$$$😮😮😮😮
check the link! I didn't mention the price in case it changes.
. Pretty pricey, if you get the whole kit $500 plus with shipping .
@@craighlady4778 price of piece of mind. Also
A single tow can be easily over that.
Not getting a hybrid after this video. There is no spare tire for 40k car. Also, you need to maintain like a regular car. Idk if the hybrid battery needs to be changed. That cost you arm and leg
I wonder if we can put that on top of the car using the rack. What do y’all think?
Probably. But kill aerodynamics haha
I was thinking you’ll be seeing a lot CRV’s with spares on their luggage racks of people taking tours of the country. Poor engineering.
Great thing. Except I'll take my chances not to carry it. I bought an extendable rachet that can be used as breaker bar and install the wheels easily. Also bought an electric jack which will allow for super easy and fast car lift. 99.9% of the time you just need to plug your tire. Very unlikely you'll ever damage your sidewall. I also carry plenty plugs with me.
never say never haha. My friend's side wall blew out last month on the freeway. some scrap on the road
@@DrHondaCRV true, it happened to me one time, but it was entirely my fault. That's very unlucky what happened to your friend. But could happen for sure. I also only buy high end tires, only Michelin or Bridgestone, top tier. I even plugged tires in places so close to the side, and the fix wouldn't even be in contact with the road lol. Still never had a problem, always wearing my tires all the way down.
Where did you get your electric jack can you provide a link? Plz
@@neilgray6264 can't put link, it gets deleted. Bought it on amazon.
ABN 3 Ton Electric Hydraulic Jack - Automatic Emergency Lift for All Cars, Vans, Trucks, SUVs
- Have suffered two sidewall blowouts and one sidewall blister about to pop over 36 years of personal driving, three more including on-the-job vehicles, not to mention multiple slow leaks making tire change advisable. Catastrophic tire failure is a reality worth abating. My area has poor road maintenance and lots of jaggedy potholes so sidewall damage is an everyday reality, likely more than in areas with better road maintenance. I wouldn’t drive to or in a remote area without at least one spare.I like CRVs but lack of a spare seems shortsighted by Honda regardless of industry trend.
Does this 18 inch spare fit as a temporary spare for 19 inch sport touring 2023 Crv?
Yes. The outer diameter is the same.
Thanks
Where do you bought the bug deflector?
I bought it from my dealership
I loved driving it and saw it had no tire or storage so i bought the pilot
I get 41MPG with the CRV. Or id have gotten the pilot too. Which is like half. Ill carry a spare since i drive far.
My prev was crv i just wanted more room for bikes and stuff
@@uzi100099 nice. Hows the pilot
Does it fit on to 2025 hybrid with 19” wheel size?
Yess
No spare tire is another practice in ; they know what’s best for you, trust them/rely on them, they will take care of you, and you will be happy. 🖕
On a long road trip with luggage and people, who the hell has the room to put the spare in the cargo area?
lots of people. I just drove 10 hours, and saw 3 ppl on the side with flats/torn tires. I had piece of mind though the entire way :)
No reason except you now have substantially less storage space.
It’s not the engineering again people blame the most important people the ones who actually know about cars not some you tube influenced individual who doesn’t know real engineering. It’s actually the consumer who has become dumber and less efficient therefore the tire has been left out. People nowadays can’t even change their own oil because they are like I said dumb let alone will they be able to change a tire or willing to do so also it is unsafe to do that on the road it’s better to just call a tow truck tow it to the nearest tire center and get it done by people who at least know how to change tires. Or course in the middle of the night your driving yeah that makes sense but that’s why the make run flat tires and for a car like this it should be fine. Locking diff ? Why would you even drive it in a very unsafe manor, knowing your car has a spare on you should be driving slower and safer . This is a good thing for people who can change spares but the people who buy this car think the minds behind the car did a good thing. The focus group is people who don’t know a thing about cars they just know how to drive them.
That thing is going to be a missle into your rear seat passengers if you get into an accident.
I have it cable strapped down
Wow. So on a long road trip when you need the cargo space the most for luggage and a cooler, you have to put that massive spare tire in there instead. Deal breaker.
👍
I have the 2024 CRV hybrid sport and my car came with a spare tire. 🤔
Really!!, I just buy mine and not spare tire, your spare are in storage area???
I got the 2024 crv hybrid sport and NO SPARE. I asked about Modern SPARE at the dealership and they didn't even know about it. So I know more about it than they do. Hmmm. Honda should have included a spare IMO.
There is no spare on the hybrids.
Where? Bc I have the same and I don’t have a spare
This is a joke, anything to save a buck. No one should buy any auto that doesn’t have a spare. Forget about does run flat. $300 per tire to $1500
Toyota includes a spare tire in their hybrid SUVs. That alone makes me choice them over Honda.
Show how ridiculous the car industry has become , when you have to buy a spare tyre
😂😂 yup
do your research, there’s no space for the Spare Tire because of the hybrid engine
Car makers suck in 2024 (every last one of them)
@@moneyprinter7773 - wrong Honda is poorly designed. Watch Car Care Nut's review of the CRV and you can see how much space is wasted under the back panel. There was room it was just a poorly designed Hybrid. ALSO - the Toyota Rav4 Hybrid comes with a spare.
@@daweigo6851 it used to be that heaters and even radios were “optional “. Time marches on…
this is exactly what I was looking for. I was going to take one winter/all season tire on long trips but that would have taken up lots of space in the trunk.
This one’s nice and sleek! Leaves enough room for everything else. ❤
I think for the price the base hybrid sport crv (which is under 40k) is the best value there is. I got mine back in july and love it. it's a modern beautiful car with honda reliability. way better than a rav4 which is being upcharged and has added fees at every dealership (and has a dated interior).
Very dated interior
I'm buying this car as well I'm just waiting to see if Toyota introduces a new Rav 4 at this year's auto show for my final decision
@@6eth_LM even with the outdated interior the rav4 is nice, it's just that the toyota dealers everywhere have huge markups on it that it doesn't make it worth it.
@@6eth_LM i saw the 2024 one. Its just a 2023 with a bigger screen up front.
Not to mention rav4 front to back space passenger wise feels so small compared to crv.

Would it fit, standing up in the second row with the seats up?
Very dangerous in a accident thou
Just bought this vehicle. We do long distance trips and will buy his.
This is for 18 inch wheels. Honda CRV hybrid sport touring has 19 inch wheels. Does it OK/fit the spot touring wheels.
Yes you can choose the right tire 🛞 size
I love my hybrid Hondas. I recently traded in my 3 rd accord for a CRV. My accords I had 4 flat tires and had to have my car towed to a dealer to have a new tire put on to replace the flat tires. It takes hours if not 24 hours to get a new tire. With this purchase I insisted on a spare. They gave me a full size tire. It takes up half my smaller than accord trunk space. It is heavy and don’t have enough room for it with all our travel baggage. This is a great idea. I just feel like a spare is not a good way to cut costs. The pump they give you instead of the spare did not work. My first flat I put the pump on and it didn’t reinflate the tire and caught on fire. My question is can you store stuff with the battery in the trunk on that extra wasted space where the battery is? I am afraid if I put liquids in there it could damage the battery or overheat it with cloth things in There.
The empty space around the battery is to keep the temperature down, in fact if you read the manual it says that under the passenger seat there is a duct that should not be blocked because it goes to the battery to cool down, there are also risks of electrocution and it is better not to open the trunk lid.
Ki will never buy a vehicle without a spare tire. I will never buy a vehicle with run flat tires and no spare. Like the Lexus NX 350. No thank you.
Thank you for all the information on the Modern Spare.tire. We are planning a road trip and are trying to pick up a spare for our 2024 Honda CRV Sport Touring Hybrid, it has 19" wheels. Will the Modern Spare work with our car? (Modern Spare doesn't have a 19" for sale)
Yes, they do have a spare kit that works with the Sport Touring model. The "wheel" is 19 inches, but the tire is the same size as the other hybrid models. Their website addresses this question very well. I am buying a Sport Touring myself, so I checked into it already!
Where on the frame do you put the jack?
Yes, I bought the Modern Spare kit for my 2024 CRV Hybrid. It easily stands up behind the cargo shade mechanism. I move it all the way to the right to make sure I can see well in the back. Gives me plenty of room. The lack of a spare is really the only defect of the CRV Hybrid series, especially when the RAV 4 and other hybrids designed it well enough for a spare.
I wish i would of done my research before buying a 2025 Crv hybrid but other than that i love the gas mileage and how much i save on gas
The solution to occupy half of the trunk with spare tire bag pretty ugly I would say...
Every solution is only good as long as you "take your tire out" when your parked over night. Any tire visible will be ripped off in a hot minute along with broken windows to match.
thats not secure in serious roll over accident that tire inside the cabin can be deadly
Good point. I will strap it down
@@DrHondaCRV, I would appreciate seeing a video of how you tie it down securely. This has been my concern with getting the Modern Spare.
@@ricki.9556 alrighty ill make a video!
Thank you, I'm going to follow you so I can see the video of the tie down once you've posted it.@@DrHondaCRV
Is it more deadly than luggage or other items carried back there? Doubt it makes a difference.
I hope you never get in a heavy braking situation as the spare could fly and potentially kill a passenger.
Its strapped down securely with 1000lb ties
Did the straps come with the tire kit or, were they purchased separately? @@DrHondaCRV
@@Longvillle separate. Can get husky tie down straps for $10. Pack of 4. At home depot. Only need 2.
salesperson mentioned "no spare". My bad for not jumping on that for an explanation!!! It would have killed the deal if I had known. I expect this will go the same place as the push button transmissions of the 50's!! Will trade as soon as I am able!!!
Its like apple getting rid of the headphone jack
That’s ridiculous for two reasons. If you’re in an accident and that tire flies in to the back of your head - you’re dead. Secondly, a great proportion of the payload space is used up, not much room for anything else. No thanks.
isn't the recommendation here just to get the right spare tire? the real question for me is, is there a storage rack for this tire for road trips?
but have they been tested for safety?
Good idea but takes up too much space.
Did you put on the tire and drive? If not, mention that. You sounded too convincing, until I realized you did not even attempt to install it and drive on it.
Is it hard to change tires? If I have one but I am old and not able to change to the spare in the event I have. Flat, is it advisable still to get one?
Only if you can find someone else to change it.. otherwise, why bother buying it? 😊
Thank you very much for dedicating your time to helping others, this video helped me a lot. Thank you very much.
Thank you for the nice comment! Appreciate it
Does the spare fit in the lower compartment area or does it take up space in the cargo area behind the back seats?
Does not fit below
Will the spare tire fit in the empty space under the rear mat?
No
No spare tire is a deal breaker. The modern spare takes up space.
Wish i had know beforehand....

BTW- How did you get your window trim from chrome to black? Just bought a 2024 SL and didnt think that was a trim option. Looking to do that on my new ride
Advertising is not free. They had to send him a $500 spare tire. He's a CR-V influencer now...
Check my other video. But i deleted myself with 3M vinyl
May I know how did you open the trunk to check the battery?
Not recommended. I broke a latch haha
I went to look at crv hybrids yesterday only to find out they don’t come with spare tires. Without a place to actually tuck away the spare, I don’t think the crv is for me. I believe the rav4 hybrids have spare tires.
Honda and Toyota should bring back the spare tire rack on the tailgate. Changes the sleek design but gives you the much needed spare. Good video, thanks.
First thing to buy too … insurance for long road trip
Will a spare tire fit behind the passenger seat in a vertical position?
Does anyone knows the air pressure this spare tire should have? 😮
Thank you. Unfortunately the HONDA sales people at Herb Chamber never told me about this. I found out when I blew out a tire on the highway. The Honda 'repair' kit doesn't work for anything other than a slow leak. I would not have purchased the 2022 CRV Hybrid if I was told it does not come with a spare.
Sorry to hear that. Yea they forsure leave out the negative details
the problem with this tire would be that there is no way you can really not secure it in the trunk. in the event of a front crash , it will most likely crush the head of the rear passenger. Hence I would never buy this. If that means that i will be stranded on the road for a few hours so be it.
Theres cable tie down rings. Ratchet strapped it down good. Not going anywhere.
Where can i buy all of them for crv 2024?
I got flat tire after less then 4 months on the 19 inch ;/ my old car. 14 Years never had flat tire must be bad luck or also the crv hybrid. plthe repair tool did not worked. So got to buy new one plus new tire purchase :/
Never know when youll need the spare!
bought the 2024 crv lx best decision.
Dang DrHonda, you have some nice looking toes! 🤩🦶🏼🦶🏼
BTW..the CRV Sport Touring is on my radar and now I have an awesome solution for the spare, which I feel is very important to have. Thanks!
Maybe I should change up my content 😂. Thanks. Hope you got a crv!
@@DrHondaCRV I couldn’t get one, but was able to land a ‘24 Civic Sport HB in Boost Blue! 💙💪
Can you use CRV lug nuts or must you use the Modern Spare lug nuts? Thanks
Both should work, MS lugs for ideal torque
Thank you 😁👏
so is the non hybrid better?
If youre doing mostly highway. Then yea
It won’t fit underneath?
No. Battery is there. Not enough space
Great presentation
Thank you!
RAV4 has a spare tire even on the hybrid
How's that $6500 high voltage cable doing?? Don't know? Better look it up.
