Got myself a 2024 Kona N Line with no spate tire

[JohnPeters]

Hey folks! Just got myself a 2024 Kona N Line, and surprise, no spare tire! Anyone know what will actually fit in there? I’ve been searching but keep reading something about the wheel being too close to the brake assembly. I’m fine with a donut if that’s what works, as long as it fits the 19-inch studs. Did anyone go full-size spare, or are we all living the donut life? And if so, what’s the wheel and tire size? Just trying to avoid becoming a roadside attraction. TIA!

I don't know if this helps, but I know that some people use a 215/55R18 tire mounted on an 18-inch rim as a full-size spare.

It's annoying that it doesn't come with a spare but that's normal now. The biggest problem is making sure a spare fits over the brakes. A small "donut" spare is usually the best option but you need one that fits your 19-inch wheels and doesn't hit the brakes. Look for a spare with the right bolt pattern and size. Some people use spares from other Hyundai or Kia cars but always test it first. A full-size spare takes up too much space.

Yeah, donut’s probably the safest bet though, as long as it clears the brakes. Sucks that we even have to figure this out.
