Search Results for ‘spare tire’

Hello, I just recovered a Gen 1 Cadillac CTS spare tire at the junkyard. Upon further inspection at home, I see some mounting holes for the spare donut are worn in. Maybe from over tightening the bolts with pneumatic tools. Anyways, my question is - is this spare still usable in an emergency...

I do remember reading some posts from years ago on the general subject of spare tires / donut tires for the Volt, but I couldn't seem to find any after an admittedly brief search. Sometimes I wonder what kind of hassle it would be to deal with a flat when I'm way out in the boonies on a road...

The Chevy Bolt comes with 17" x 6.5J offset 44, cast aluminum wheels with Michelin all-season Energy Saver A/S 215/50R17. The tires are ~25-7/16" diameter. These are self-sealing tires, except for punctures on the outer edges of the tread or in the sidewall. So, you may need a spare, whether to...

Just to add to the body of knowledge on Gen 1 Spare tires: With just a little cutting of the rear cargo area floor cover, a spare can be mounted upright and held in place using existing cargo mounts. I use the portable charger at home, so it’s rarely in the car, and even if it is with me, I’m...

Hello: I feel that the spare tire is worth the money. It only took me a 1/2 hour to install. I ordered it from my dealer. I believe it was a little over $400.00. You just have to get the tire put on the rim. The kit comes with a jack and tire iron. While I don't like to waste money, if I get...

I know more and more cars are not coming with a spare tire. But I wanted to know what everyone here does in the real world when they get flat tires on their Volt? Do you have to get towed to a dealer to get the flat replaced or repaired?

After 2 years and 1 month, my luck finally ran out with the OEM tires. As I turned onto the street that my Mom lives on, I heard an unusual sound come from the back of my Volt that I could not immediately identify. About 3 seconds later the source of the sound became obvious as a message popped...

For those who want to carry a spare tire on long trips in case they get an unfixable flat, or who simply don't want to wait for a tow truck, here's an idea for mounting the spare to the cargo deck using off-the self hardware. It would require a hole be drilled in the rear cargo deck, one that...
