Default Possible to fit two front tires + passenger in S?

I'm not optimistic about this but thought I'd ask. Has anyone fit two tires in the trunk? Maybe if you take out everything, including the carpet? Tires in question are unmounted 215/45-17. Thanks!!

Answers that do not help:
-Take a different car
-Have the tires shipped
-Don't take the passenger

Loose tires, no rims? How about one in the trunk, and one duct taped to the trunk lid with a blanket under it to prevent damage?

You can easily fit them in the trunk by riding with the trunk open and having them tied down.

Correct, no rims. Are you talking about having the tire on top of the closed trunk? How would you get it to stick to the trunk? Wouldn't the duct tape damage the paint?

Two tires in front seat, passenger in trunk.

If your passenger doesn't want to ride in the trunk make him hold one of the tires in his lap and put the other tire in the trunk.

You can definitely fit a small person in the trunk. I fit my Vietnamese buddy in my trunk once....:shiftyeyes:

I don't recommend making your passenger sit in the trunk. Everytime I've done this, there's seemingly NO END to the whining. Passenger in seat holding a tire, other tire in trunk seems the best way to go.
