Default How would you carry 4 tires in an S2000?

I need to replace all four tires on my S2000, how do you carry all four tires to the shop with an S2000?

I heard people remove the passenger seat, but I don't think it is wide enough to place a tire flat. Can anybody confirm if the passenger side will fit 3 tires?

I can confirm that it will in fact work.

So you put one of the wider tire in the trunk, and stack 3 tires on the passenger side? can you close the top? do you have a picture?

Thanks!

If you order tires from Tire Rack, just have them drop shipped to the installer.

Otherwise, as a friend to help you bring them to the shop.

That would also mean I need another person to come with me to the shop.

I just put a new set of wheels on my car, I had to make 2 trips to the shop and 2 trips back home, I could fit 3 but would still have to go back for the 1.

Next time, ship tires directly to the shop. Or else put your car on jackstands, remove wheels and put in rented or borrowed pickup / van.
