Hi,

After years of having another marque I take delivery of a new Tucson ultimate petrol hybrid 230ps soon. I am in the market for a full size or temporary spare wheel kit. Can anyone confirm if a full size wil fit?
Many thanks

Hi Gibson,

I've just checked under the false floor in my boot, and can confirm that (on my car) there is a threaded mount point for the spare wheel. The well area is approximately 750mm x 275mm (rough measurements with a tape measure, width x depth); which is large enough to fit a full sized version of the wheel/tyre combo on my car. The well area is occupied by a polystyrene organiser, which had the temporary tyre sealant and air compressor system that Hyundai supply instead of the spare tyre, along with a cargo net. It's a large piece to find somewhere to store it.

Fantastic gadgets and tech, shame about certain "Safety" features...

If you have the Hybrid version, I'm not sure you will be able to get a full size spare wheel in. Some members have used

It's 18" in size so would only be useful for short distances.
There is a 19" wheel on

Personally, I'm using
AirMan ResQ Emergancy Tyre Repair Kit, which saves weight in the boot and will give me 120 miles to find a wheel shop for repair/replacement.
