    I don't know about everyone else but when I go on a long trip (ie., summer vacation) I need the cargo space. The spare tire greatly reduces the precious cargo space. Really liked the 2024 Hybrid CRV but can't get past this issue. Wonder how many sales are lost due to this shortcoming.

      Same here. An option would be to get a roof-rack mounted storage box, either for the extra luggage or the tire.
      But then we're talking about $500 for the spare and $500+ for the box. Plus, I prefer to not load things on the roof, it reduces MPG and therefore partially defeats the extra fuel efficiency you're paying for when you get a hybrid.
      It's a tough call.

      Last year I canceled my crv hybrid sport touring deal because of no spare and no fog lights especially at this price. I live in a rural area without street lights. It would be a nightmare for me if the tire gets torn at night in the middle of nowhere. So I bought the toyota rav4 hybrid instead.

    Thank you for producing this video.
    Living in Canada, my 2024 Hybrid Touring model comes with the same 235/55 R19 wheels with Continental Cross Contact tires as your vehicle. I have investigated Modern Spare, asked them a lot of questions, to which they have promptly replied. The correct replacement/spare for my vehicle has the same 29” diameter rolling size that the 19” Honda wheels have. So, I do not have to worry about stressing the drive train, like I might if I was to put on a smaller diameter temporary spare.
    Why is this important? Because this generation of CRV has a different AWD system than 5th generation models had, in that it is always engaged, and always delivering some torque to the rear wheels. Having a difference in rolling diameter could possible cause the computer to start throwing codes, over time as well as likely causing overheating issues. This AWD system also is fully engaged on reverse as well. (something Hondas Canada told me)
    I will likely order up the Modern Spare kit, (tire, rim, tire bag, jack and wrench) and have it shipped to me here in Canada (it does not seem to be available anywhere in Canada). The catch is, factoring in the exchange rate between the US dollar and the Canadian dollar means that by the time I have it delivered, the cost is somewhere near $735.00 Canadian. Seems rather high, until I got a price on the Honda 19” black alloy rim with a Continental 235/55R19 Cross Contact mounted, then it seemed a fair buy. The plus of the MS kit is the space saving size - only 6 inches thick.
    Where I live in Saskatchewan it is most common to drive for at least two hours at highways speeds to travel from one city to another, hence the reason for the MS Kit.

    I love my hybrid Hondas. I recently traded in my 3 rd accord for a CRV. My accords I had 4 flat tires and had to have my car towed to a dealer to have a new tire put on to replace the flat tires. It takes hours if not 24 hours to get a new tire. With this purchase I insisted on a spare. They gave me a full size tire. It takes up half my smaller than accord trunk space. It is heavy and don’t have enough room for it with all our travel baggage. This is a great idea. I just feel like a spare is not a good way to cut costs. The pump they give you instead of the spare did not work. My first flat I put the pump on and it didn’t reinflate the tire and caught on fire. My question is can you store stuff with the battery in the trunk on that extra wasted space where the battery is? I am afraid if I put liquids in there it could damage the battery or overheat it with cloth things in There.

      It frustrates me that the cr-v doesn't include fog lights. There's actually a space for them. I was hoping Honda would add them to the 2024 or 2025 models, as most manufacturers add minor upgrades in between major model revisions. The 2025 CR-V is now the 3rd year of this incarnation and it's pretty much identical to the 2023 models.

      -Having had multiple tires damaged beyond repair over decades in personal and commercial vehicles- a spare which can be installed quickly is a must to me. Perhaps the "average" driver will never need the spare. Prudence, however recognizes the real potential for terminal tire damage beyond the scope of a repair kit. I won't have safety dependent on a car manufacturer deciding an average user won't need a spare. I like the CRV but lack of a spare or non-intrusive mounting point for a customer-acquired spare means no CRV purchase. There's room under the back mat for a well-engineered spare or mount- but Honda's (and others') decision to omit this is a deal-killer.

      @Wiggy74 Před 7 měsíci +2

      As long as the overall diameter of the spare rim and tire is close to the overall diameter of the factory rim and tire, there’ll be no issues. If the tire on the 18” spare rim had the same sidewall height as the tire on the factory 19” rim, then there would be a big problem. But as you can see, the sidewall height on the spare tire is noticeably taller than the factory tire’s sidewall. Since they decreased the diameter of the spare rim, they increased the sidewall height of the spare tire to come close or match the overall diameter of the factory rim and tire.

    Just today I got a flat on the interstate in our 24 sport touring. lucky we were 1 exit from the dealer and made it before the tire went completely flat. Wll cost $345 to replace the tire. and I have to leave my car there for 4 days till they can get the tire. I have bought 6 cars there so they gave me a 24 passport black edition to use for the duration. Now I am torn between buying this spare or just trading in the crv (2400 mi.)for a ridgeline black and giving my wife my 24 pilot elite. This car we did not get the tire and wheel warranty pkg,because they raised the price and lowered the coverage. Figures,but it was a gamble since we have not got a flat since 1984. But now we live in the desert 45 minutes from anything so do I really want to get caught out again?

    Not knocking the video or the idea as both are great. I have two issues in carrying a spare tile like that. One is safety. If you have to stop short at highway speeds that thing is going to go flying forward resulting in a very dangerous if not deadly situation. The other concern I have is I do long distance trips (hence the need for a spare) but when I do so I have a lot of luggage and pets I need to transport. So I have no room really for a spare tire carried in the back. It bums me as I was going to consider a CRV (possibly trade in a Tucson) but I don't think this will work for me. A Rav4 is the only other option but the reports of bad road noise really concern me.

      True in case of AWDs.. Depends on the wear and tear of the tires. If they have even wear, it should be okay. But if you have used the three tires for 35-40 K miles and and you have a tire blow out, better to get all 4. For more info, see scotty kilmer channel

Catastrophic tire failure is a reality worth abating.

    Its interesting that some owners wouldn't even try or just don't have the skill set to change a tire out on the open road, during bad weather etc even if they had a spare tire that came with the car new. This is a good option. 85% of flats are from punctures to the tread. This would allow ANYONE to repair the tire such as to get going to a tire shop and have it repaired completely or replaced if necessary.
