Viable Compact Spare Options?

JJim said:
Have anyone tried this, very high review and easy to use for cheaper cost. The hardest part is to locate the nail/screw embedded to the tire

I guess you need to add a bottle of soapy water along with needle-nosed pliers to this kit to make it complete. After you use the soapy water to discover where the leak is, you can use it to wash up after fixing the leak before proceeding on your way! OK, add a washcloth, too.

Well, I rather to wash up my hand than have to remove the sealant and clean the resonators

Wow! After reading the PDF file you attached I found that using that slimy sealant is worse than I thought!

> The temporary repair sealant (once used or past the expiration date)

> Check with your local regulations for proper disposal.

> Notice:
> Do not dispose of a tire still filled with sealant

Now I'll be looking for a spare tire--I'll keep it at home and bring it to help out my wife should she need it.

At one point I had a flat at home in my old Accord. Since I wasn't going anywhere, I called AAA to have them put the spare. They offered me to fix the flat (not sure if it would have been free), but since I had purchased them at Sams club and had road hazard warranty and was close to the sidewall, I didn't do it.

So, if you call Honda roadside, would they plug a flat?
 
did you find any spare that fits?, I also had the gen 1volt with the Cadillac spare. I am looking at 2008-2013 g35 spare but would like to know if there's Accord spare options

The Infinity G35 spare is the one I'm using. It is only a 17 inch spare, but it fits and takes up little space in the trunk if you tie it up. I found this on ebay:

Do you need anything other than the spare, a jack, and a wrench? Are you using the same lugnuts, etc? I'm going on a road trip soon to a remote area with maybe some dirt road driving and all of the sudden I'm worried about being stuck out there with no cell reception and a flat tire.
 
If you buy the infiniti spare, you should get 64.1mm to 66.1mm hub centric ring adapters. As for lug nuts, most of the infiniti/nissan spares will need acorn (conical) lug nuts, whereas the Honda uses ball/radial/semicircular lug nuts. Some of the infiniti/nissan spares use mag-type lug nuts, so you almost need to get the spare then see what lug nuts you need.

The spare, a jack and a wrench is all you need. The car is very difficult to raise with a scissor jack so I got a small floor jack which works great and will easily fit in the compartment in the trunk. I did use the hub centric ring adapters Robert mentioned in the previous post and I also bought the lug nuts that fit the spare. Somewhere in this thread there is the part number for both the hub centric ring and the lug nuts.
