Honda Pilot - spare tire?
Does the Honda Pilot come with a full-size spare tire? My initial research
indicates not, but myabe an actual owner can confirm. I'm concerned because I seem to recall reading somewhere that you need a full-size spare to be allowed access to permit beaches. Anybody have experience with this? Thanks! |

Does not have a full size spare. I bought one from someone who upgraded
their stock tires at www.hondapilot.org Roger "annie" <annabelle@garbage.net> wrote in message news:sLvtc.1667$pt3.913@attbi_s03... > Does the Honda Pilot come with a full-size spare tire? My initial research > indicates not, but myabe an actual owner can confirm. |

You can't mix tires of different circumference or the RTAWD will engage continually and overheat. Same on AWD versions of the CRV, old and new. 'Curly' |

Does your full-size spare fit OK in the space where the half-size spare
goes? "Roger and Liza Somero" <r.someroabc@verizon.net> wrote in message news:C6wtc.18475$o97.10993@nwrddc01.gnilink.net... > Does not have a full size spare.

Re: Honda Pilot - spare tire?
How does the hitch relate to the tire?

Roger:
Thanks - that's scary! I tried sending you a message at your email address below but it bounced. Here's what I wrote: We bought a 2004 EX after our dealer promised us that a wheel/tire from an LX would fit. Turns out that it doesn't fit so well. They say that the full size spare ends up being too loose. This is a big problem for us. We love the car, but not having a full-size spare could cost us the ability to get beach permits. You say that your full-size spare fits. Do you have a 2004? Thanks!!!

We have an 03 Pilot EX with a steel LX wheel and tire and it fits just fine without being loose. I bought the wheel and tire through TireRack and installed it mself -- simple process. Have had it in place now for close to a year with no problems. > > > "Roger and Liza Somero" <r.someroabc@verizon.net> wrote in message > news:kpuvc.27873$oh7.19524@nwrddc01.gnilink.net... > > "annie" <annabelle@garbage.net> wrote in message > > news:Ax%tc.7718$3x.3147@attbi_s54... > > > How does the hitch relate to the tire? > > > > I've heard that with some aftermarket hitches the full size tire won't > fit. > > > > Roger > > > > > > |
