I was wondering if anyone has driven on their spare tire yet? I need to know if my spare tire can at least reach 10-15 miles on the freeway...On a further speculation, I was also wondering if anyone has been able to fit an S-02 in their trunk. I tried fitting my flat S-02 in my trunk and also in the designated space for the spare but both spaces would not fit. My trunk is absolutely devoid of any materials with the exceptions of the owner's manual and my wheel locks. Thank you.

You should be fine on the spare (no actual experience, knock on wood). Make sure the spare is on the front wheel. If you had a flat rear, you are supposed to move one of the front wheels to the back flat. Drive cautiously and at lower speeds.

The full size tire does fit in the trunk. Remove the bottom board and foam tool tray. The tire sits upright in the tire shaped form in the base of the trunk.

Unfortunately I just had to test my spare tire tonight while coming home from school. After 1/4 mile driving, my wheel started yanking to the right, so I pulled over, noticed the flat and put the spare on. I couldn't fit the S-02 in the trunk, so I had it ride shotgun as I was starting to get nervous of the area I was in, Gary IN. The spare rode fine on the way home @ 40 top speed. Just leave plenty of room for braking.
